La Catrina Monarca
(Flying with The Monarch Butterfly!)
Lionwoman flies with the butterflies in 2027!
Join the Roar!
In line with our mission to lift lesser-heard voices, Lionwoman Productions TX is proud to partner with environmental action to save and sustain the Monarch Butterfly!
​
La Catrina Monarca (Flying with The Monarch Butterfly!) is a signature performance art presentation, which will be produced in 2027, including additional staging by Lionwoman Productions TX! With dance, original music, stunning costuming and conversation, this original and highly-engaging experience is an integration between art, science, and culture, performed by celebrated artist and environmental activist, Geraldina Interiano Wise. She has devised a mesmerizing audience experience exploring the lifecycle and journey of the Monarch butterfly. Flying with La Catrina Monarca lays out, in a visually stunning way, how Houston's environment is critical for the for the survival of this extraordinary creature. Audiences will learn about our connection to the Monarch, and be a part of the call to action, with cultivated milkweed plants to take home and start pocket gardens "butterfly B&B's". Imagine how this momentum can spark interest to bring butterfly gardens to diverse neighborhoods, adding to goodwill, building community bonds, and improving green spaces! We are planning a Saturday or Sunday celebration between April 24 - May 8, 2027 (between Earth Day and Cinco de Mayo).
​
A thumbnail vision: A public, indoor/outdoor event (ie, The Heritage Society, part of Sam Houston Park). There will be 3-4 performances of the show throughout the day, 15-20 minutes each, featuring dancers, original music, colorful costuming and interactions with the audience. The Heritage Society's museum space has ample room for standing and seated audience, as well as Houston-connected history displays. Outside we'll have face painting, butterfly stilt walkers, arts, crafts, foods and beverages, and vendor booths for organizations aligned with the theme of the environment.
