Día de Muertos-Fiesta

In the organizer's words:

The Übersee-Museum is celebrating the Mexican festival of the dead, the "Día de Muertos"! Visitors can give free rein to their creativity in various hands-on workshops. Whether making traditional cempasúchil paper flowers for the ofrenda, painting paper skulls with acrylic paints or designing skull puppets - there are plenty of opportunities to get active yourself. Guests can also transform themselves into a calavera, a skull, with face painting. In a short guided tour and a short lecture, participants learn all about the traditions surrounding the Mexican festival of the dead and the "ofrendas", the festively decorated altars. Various traditional dance performances bring movement to the evening: from the Tecuan dance to the La Bruja dance, a witches' dance, to the impressive dance of the weepers, La Llorona. The centerpiece of the evening, the ofrenda, is explained in detail at 8.30 pm. The evening culminates with a musical and dance finale: the dance of the Calaveras.
