Dance Mission presents creative Día de los Muertos performance in pandemic

From the heart of the Mission on the evening of Día de Muertos, Dance Mission Theater hosted a creative performance from the windows of its studios on 24th and Mission Street, and in the 24th Street BART Plaza. 

The performance began with an acknowledgement of Indigenous land and a Native American drum circle and chanting ceremony. Then, dancers performed from the second story windows of the dance studio on 24th Street as masked onlookers watched from across the street. 

Then, across the street from the second-story windows, a film about children detained by ICE was projected as cars and buses drove by, sometimes blocking the performance.
