Fiesta de Navidad: La Pastorela Folklorica
A fun representation of the traditional shepherds' play with a folklórico and flamenco flair, writer Hiedi Cabral's play La Pastorela Folklorica highlights the Guadalupe Dance Academy performing traditional Mexican music and dance. Guadalupe Dance Company members play the traditional characters of Mary, Joseph, Lucifer and the archangel while the Academy’s youngest performers play the parts of townspeople and shepherds.
