Detail from | Detalle de: Gran baile de calaveras, 1906
La fiesta en ultratumba
Day of the Dead is a time for remembrance, but not mourning. In reminding us of our mortality, calaveras help us celebrate life. The calaveras in these broadsides know how to party, whether they’re eating, drinking, dancing—or doing all three.
El Día de Muertos es un momento para conmemorar, pero no para lamentar. Las calaveras nos recuerdan nuestra mortalidad, pero en realidad nos permiten celebrar la vida. Estas huesudas sí que saben, festejar, ya sea al comer, beber, bailar o hacerlo todo a la vez.
