Featuring LOS GORRIONES DEL SUR from 9-9:30 in The Lounge

Nuevo Laredo is a dance theater work linking the Day of the Dead tradition with the current narcocultura of the Mexican drug wars. The piece follows an assassin, a new-age drug lord and la Santa Muerte (Saint Death) as they go about their daily business in the fog of a rehab center and the ghost town Nuevo Laredo, a borderland where Life teeters between Faith and Death.

NUEVO LAREDO is commissioned & presented by Dixon Place with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency and the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs, with private funds from the Peg Santvoord Foundation and the Jerome Foundation. This project is also made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
