Jazmín Stengel / Domingo M. Flores – With the return of its traditional Life and Death Festival and various artistic events to be held Friday 29 October and Monday 1 November, Chapala High School will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its founding. Chapala High School first opened its doors in October 1971 as a cooperative school. It passed into the hands of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG) in 1994 thus becoming today’s well-known Chapala Regional High School.
The celebrations will take place entirely on the high school campus, and will include a conference, an exhibition of paintings, photography, musical performances, as well as the presentation of awards to relatives of deceased members of the high school.
The program will open on Friday 29 October at 5:00 p.m. with an exhibition of photography by the student body, entitled «Prepa Chapala» and psychedelic-style painting by former student and current artist, Abril Durán. At the end of the exhibition, the first edition of the magazine Redes Universitarias, a publishing house of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG), will be presented.
At 5:30 p.m. on the 29th, there will be a «Death in Mexico» presentation given by former high school teacher Zaida Cristina Reynoso Camacho. The mariachi band «Gala», also made up of former students of the school, will provide evening entertainment along with a presentation of the Ballet Folklorico de la maestra Zayda Zamudio Terríquez, beginning at 8:00 p.m. The first day of festivities will conclude with the official presentation of the Post Mortem awards to outstanding people who died during their time at the school.
On Monday, November 1st, the traditional «Life and Death» altar festival, which Chapala High School has been holding for almost three decades, will take place. At the same time, there will be an exhibition of painting and photography. The festival will be streamed virtually via the Moodle platform.
