The Lensic is pleased to present a new education offering for teachers and students in grades K through 3: “Agua Es Vida” (“Water Is Life”), available to watch on demand October 25–November 5.
“Agua Es Vida” is the story of a mother looking for ways to tell her children about climate change and the importance of water in our world. Not sure how to explain things, she turns to her ancestors for help. Together we enjoy Indigenous dances and songs that honor the Earth and her natural resources. Featuring colorfully costumed performers and dances from Veracruz, Guerrero, and Michoacán, Mexico, “Agua Es Vida” introduces young students to Mexican music and culture. “Agua Es Vida” is a Rhythm of the Arts production, featuring performers from the Mexico Beyond Mariachi music and dance company.
