Join us for Mikailwitl For Generaciones Perdidas, a new performance by artist Marcela Torres presented in The Aldrich’s newly renovated Sculpture Garden. Commissioned by The Aldrich, this hour-long work marks the first live performance on the Museum’s redesigned grounds and invites audiences into a space of ceremony, dynamic movement, and sustained remembrance.
Performed by a collective of Mitotilliztli danzantes (Nahuatl indigenous dancers), the piece blends traditional danza, sound, queer embodiment, reggaeton rhythms, and ceremonial elements— including a smoke ritual and flower altar—to honor lost lineages and the sacredness of land.
*In lieu of purchasing a ticket, audience members are invited to bring a single flower or bouquet to contribute to the collective altar. This offering will serve as your admission and participation in the ritual space. Pre-registration is encouraged.
