El Dia de los Muertos
Choreographed by Leslie Kimiko Ward
Music by Devil Makes Three
Drawing inspiration from the tattoo art of "Sailor Jerry" Collins, early forensic photography, and the heyday of the traveling circus, Ward examines life near the edge of a very colorful underworld. Set to the music of post-punk bluegrass band Devil Makes Three, Ward spins a yarn both grisly and hilarious, full of murder, vaudeville, gospel and whiskey.
