Governors State University’s Center for Performing Arts, 1 University Parkway, is proud to present Ballet 5:8’s La Llorona, Saturday, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m.

 

Ballet 5:8, Chicago’s premiere female and minority-led ballet company, presents its critically acclaimed production La Llorona. This powerful performance reframes the legend of "La Llorona" through a deeply human lens—illuminating the often-overlooked struggles of postpartum depression and maternal mental health.

Rooted in the Mexican folktale of Maria—a grieving mother doomed to wander in sorrow—La Llorona reimagines the myth with empathy and cultural insight. 

Tickets are $59 - $74 and may be purchased by calling 708.235.2222 or visiting CenterTickets.net. Patrons may also make purchases at the box office. Box office hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Thursdays: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and two hours prior to all performances.
