It’s the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) and the Burgos Family is getting ready to celebrate this important date to them. It is a yearly tradition in Hacienda Calvario where they get together to celebrate. As they share how this celebration has been of great value to their lives, they also explain the meaning of every element presented: why are 
altars made? What objects can decorate them? What food is eaten? Why it is important to have candles, the traditional “calaveritas (verses that rhyme)?
La Catrina (Death) roams around, reminding us that life is beautiful, and we need to take advantage of it. Where do we go after we die? That is the main question each character asks among them.

Hailed for his fresh style, unconventional sound, and rebellious spirit, Jack Harlow fell in love with music at an early age and never looked back. This weekend he performs with Babyface Ray and Mavi at House of Blues 
Houston located in GreenStreet.
In 2016, he released his first mixtape, 18, earning instant attention, with the breakout track, “Ice Cream,” becoming an instant fan favorite. Since then, Harlow has garnered more than 5 million total streams and counting, in part fueled by his acclaimed mixtape, GAZEBO, released in November 2017 on his own Private Garden label.
Harlow followed GAZEBO with his first ever headline North American tour, followed by a string of select dates as support for Grammy-winning rock band Portugal. The Man. Harlow signed with Atlantic Records last year via the DJ Drama and Don Cannon imprint, Generation Now. To celebrate, he released the feel-good anthem “SUNDOWN” alongside an accompanying video.

Reckless
Presented by Ballet 5:8
Hobby Center
Saturday 10/30/2021 8:00 PM
Julianna Rubio Slager’s 2021 World Premiere Reckless brings an ancient story of tragedy and incredible compassion into the 21st Century. Cliché stereotypes fall apart when we look at someone’s life through their own eyes. The stories 
of those in the sex trade are broken, painful, and often misunderstood. Reckless explores the story of Gomer, the wife of the prophet Hosea. The story of Gomer has been retold in countless lives, frequently ending in tragedy and sorrow. In this story we see the reckless love of God through Hosea, as he runs to the darkest street corners to redeem the one He loves. The ballet is about sex-trafficking, we recommend it for audiences 13 and older due to those themes. There is no nudity or vulgar dancing.
