TEQUILA CASA DRAGONES PRESENTS MEXICO WEEK: DÍA DE MUERTOS AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER
October 27th to November 2nd 2023
For the third consecutive year, Tequila Casa Dragones is proud to present "Mexico Week: Día De Muertos at Rockefeller Center" alongside The Consulate General of Mexico in New York City. Taking place from October 27 through November 2, the annual event celebrates Mexico's heritage and contemporary culture–this year highlighting a modern Mexican artist, Daniel Valero of Mestiz design studio based in San Miguel de Allende. New Yorkers can engage with Mexican art, music, and Día De Muertos traditions right in the heart of New York City.
“Los Dos Soles” concept for this year’s ofrenda draws inspiration from the significance of the sun as the creator of life and the holiday's celebration of life itself, embodying a deeply rooted Mexican cultural tradition. The ofrenda exists as a symbolic portal to San Miguel de Allende, where Mestiz will showcase a similar ofrenda simultaneously at La Casa Dragones.
To further celebrate contemporary Mexican creators, the festivities will include performances by Mexican dancer and choreographer Diego Vega Solorza, by invitation from TONO, where Diego will create a new choreographic intervention responding to the site at Rockefeller Center.
We invite you to participate in this celebration of life from October 27th till November 2nd at Rockfeller Center, New York City. Additional information of the activities of Mexico Week: Día de Muertos are outlined below.
