Oceánica Ballet presents Sleepy Hollow & Lupita, an autumn-themed double bill featuring the tale of the Headless Horseman and a ballet celebration of life inspired by Día de Los Muertos.

The program will also feature a reprise of Lowman’s “In Shadow,” delving into the emotional associations of shadows.
