3 October 2025

On October 3, 2025, in Madrid, Spain, the Casa de México Foundation presents the eighth edition of its renowned Día de Muertos altar. This year’s installation, titled Cabaret El Recuerdo, transforms the tradition into a homage to the golden age of Mexican cabaret—a world shaped by the elegance of early 20th-century nightlife and the influence of European, particularly French and German, cabarets. Designed and coordinated by architect and designer Guillermo González, the altar becomes a stage where memory, music, and spirit intertwine. It features three pieces of folk art: catrina vedettes crafted in traditional papier-mâché, a tzompantli made of acrylic skulls, and blown-glass spheres. Each element conjures the presence of souls who once laughed, danced, and lived with passion—reminding us that life, like a cabaret, must be lived singing, dancing, and loving until the final curtain call.

Vera Vigevani de Jarach arrives 86 years ago from Milan, Italy, by boat, fleeing the racial laws of fascist Italy. Her grandfather dies in Auschwitz. There is no grave to mourn him. Another genocide strikes three decades later. Vera's only daughter, Franca Jarach, is disappeared by the dictatorship. Nor is there a grave to leave her a flower. ''I have two stories that prove that what happened once can happen again,'' she warns. A Mother of the Plaza de Mayo of the Founding Line and a member of the Argentine Historical and Social Memory Foundation, Vera dies at the age of 97. Vera is born on March 5, 1928, in northern Italy. She and her family decide to come to Argentina to escape fascism. They travel on the Augustus ship, traveling second class because they don't have money for more. On the journey, the children--despite the horrors stalking them--play. What amuses them most is hide-and-seek. ''I am still a little girl, but when I arrive my childhood is over,'' she says.
