Halloween activities have been cancelled in many communities, but instead of feeling blue, we've decided to throw the biggest costume party ever! Join Latin GRAMMY Winning musician/author, MISTER G and the Global Citizen Ensemble for an international celebration, broadcast live from the historic Academy of Music Theatre. Make a costume, carve a pumpkin, decorate your home, and share your creativity on camera in this Zoom-style event where the performers can see and interact with families at home.
As part of the show, we'll travel to Mexico and learn about Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), which takes place at the same time as Halloween, but has its own rich cultural history. We'll visit several families in the US and Mexico to learn how they honor their loved ones and explore the ways that they are celebrating this year.
Watch the new video for 'Ritmo y Ritma" to help get into the spirit HERE.
Produced in partnership with Laudable Productions, the event will be broadcast live from the historic Academy of Music Theatre with professional sound, lighting, and film production. Participants join via video conference, turning on their cameras so that they can "be seen" by the performers on a video wall at the front of the stage. During the show, our directors weave footage of children and families into the broadcast, giving the audience a glimpse of the singing, dancing, hand motions, and joy that is taking place at home in real time (think Jumbotron at a sporting event). The interactivity spurs engagement and elevates the feeling of togetherness so that children and families can see each other across borders, share their creativity, and celebrate our shared global community.
