Calpulli Mexican Dance Company presents “Puebla: The Story of Cinco de Mayo,” a work conceived by Artistic Director & Co-Founder Alberto Lopez Herrera to honor the culture of his birthplace in Puebla, Mexico. 

Folk and native traditions of song and dance guide audiences through the landmark events that led to the famous Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, and capture the undeniable Mexican spirit that is celebrated on Cinco de Mayo to this day. 

In retelling its history through the eyes of Mexicans, Poblanxs, and immigrants, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company delves into the Mexican-American celebration of Cinco de Mayo and draws a line from the past to the present. 

The production premiered in April 2019 at Queens Theatre and Basie Center for the Arts. The creation of the work was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts. 

Please plan to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to your performance time to allow for vaccination checks, security screenings, and seating.
