Behind the Mask — The Woman Who Outshone the Sun

October 14, 2019 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
A portrait of four masked characters. A woman in a yellow dress with long hair, the sun with a golden face and shining robe, a village elder in a brown tunic with a wooden staff, the river in a blue mask and cape, and an iguana with green and orange reptile costume.

A poem inspired by a Zapotec folktale comes to life. When a mysterious woman is exiled from a mountain village, she takes the river with her and the villagers must learn the importance of tolerance and forgiveness, and understand their impact on the world around them.
