Photographing the Mictlán performance by Grupo Folklórico Quetzalén at the historic Sebastiani Theatre in Sonoma was a powerful celebration of culture, movement, and community. Through vibrant costumes, expressive choreography, and storytelling rooted in tradition, the young dancers brought the spirit of Mictlán to life on stage.

It brings me to tears capturing such a culturally rich and evocative performance—one that reflected not only the dedication of the dancers, but the deep sense of heritage and community that brings this beautiful tradition together.
