In the organizer's words:
Día de los Muertos at MARKK!
The Mexican Day of the Dead has been taking place at MARKK for 30 years in cooperation with the Círculo Mexicano Alemán e.V. (CIMA e.V.). We are celebrating our anniversary together! On the Day of the Dead, or "Día de los Muertos" in Spanish, the deceased are remembered and life and death are celebrated in Mexico every year at the beginning of November. A varied program for children, young people and adults invites you to MARKK for dance and music performances, readings and lectures, performances for children and young people, face painting, craft workshops, Mexican delicacies, guided tours and stores with Mexican handicrafts and arts and crafts, as well as the opportunity to exchange ideas in the Death Café and explanations at the Altar of the Dead.
