Hot Stuff: La Muerte Vive Comes Alive

What's New 1 Oct 2012 Mar Yvette

Translated as “the dead live,” La Muerte Vive is a rock opera-meets-cabaret theatrical extravaganza celebrating the traditions of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos. This year La Muerte Vive presents “Apocalypto: The Awakening,” on Friday, November 2 at the historic and recently restored Palace Theatre in Downtown LA. The show aims to be an explosion of color, culture–and maybe even a little camp–with the nation’s largest collection of giant judas (paper mache puppets), dramatic storytelling, eye-popping art, fiery music and sexed-up dancing. Hosted by bandleader Santos de Los Angeles, the party will also include special performances from Quinto Sol and burlesque beauties Miss Ruby Champagne, Paula Baby Alvarez and Violet Valentine.
