The Latina Dance Project will bring an Aztec legend to life at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a two-night performance April 7th and 8th

““Coyolxauhqui ReMembers” will be performed at 8 p.m. April 7 and 8 and at 2 p.m. April 8 in the UNCG Dance Theatre on Walker Avenue and Kenilworth Street. Tickets are $12 for general admission and $9 for seniors children and non-UNCG students. UNCG student tickets are $6.

“Coyolxauhqui ReMembers” is a collaborative project of the Latina Dance Project that reinterprets the Aztec myth of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui. In Aztec legend, Coyolxauhqui feared that something evil was growing in her mother’s pregnant womb and attempted to kill her mother, the earth goddess Coatlicue. The child, Huitzilopochtli, sprang from Coatlicue’s womb as a grown warrior and murdered Coyolxauhqui, tossing her remains into the sky, where she became the phases of the moon.”
