Flor de Muerto
FLOR DE MUERTO
Mexican Day of the Dead is a scary day for a boy with two dead parents and an overactive imagination. As night falls, his memories run riot, entwining with his imaginary world and the real fiesta of life and death.
Featuring a physical ensemble, original music and calavera puppetry, Flor de Muerto is a dark coming-of-age story told with the warmth, joy and colour for which Gomito are known.
