About The Bad Light

Born out of a garage in Santa Cruz, CA circa 2009, The Bad Light has grown, morphed and matured into a vessel for its members to explore, write and perform their own style of music. With its soul deeply rooted in Americana, the body of The Bad Light lives in Blues soaked psychedelic rock, with Edu Cerro on guitar/vocals, Dana Shepard on drums, Chloë Menkes-Coffee on vocals and multi instrumentalist Hiram Coffee in the current line up, the band is exploring new spaces for the songs from its new album “GOODBYE” which was written as a tribute to Celeste Deruisa, a former band mate who passed away from cancer in 2020. To learn more about their album GOODBYE, visit their website here.

About Ghost Stories

Sashka Rothchild and Dr. Victoria Sterkin have been friends in life and death for many years, and most recently partners on their podcast, Ghost Stories, which explores the quantum entanglement between our world and other realms. Rothchild is currently focused on producing media at the intersection of art, creativity, grief, and loss in Brooklyn and Sterkin is a behavioral analyst focused on the intersection of psychology and mycology in California.

Día de los Muertos OfrendaCinthya Santos-Briones

Free, Open Daily 10am-5pmHistoric Chapel

En Espanol

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and parts of Latin America that honors the departed through music, dancing, gatherings with family and friends, and ofrendas (offerings made on home altars). Since 2018, Green-Wood has commissioned a Brooklyn-based artist to create and install a large-scale community altar in the Cemetery’s Historic Chapel. Visitors are encouraged to pay tribute to lost loved ones by lighting candles, and by leaving personal offerings, including flowers, photographs, food, and notes.

Santos-Briones’ installation, Mictlan, draws inspiration from both ancient and modern conceptions of death in Mexico. The title refers to the underworld of Aztec mythology where souls of the departed spend eternity. The centerpiece of the installation, the community altar, is designed as a pyramid, modeled after the monuments and temples constructed by indigenous populations. This architectural style, along with other practices and traditions, was lost in the sixteenth century, when Europeans colonized the region and forced conversion to Christianity.

Santos-Briones is a visual artist, educator, and cultural organizer with indigenous Nahua roots based in New York. Her photography has been published in The New York Times, Vogue, Buzzfeed, The Intercept, New Yorker, The Nation Magazine, among others. Mictlan will be her first large scale installation.

Nightfall: Danse Macabre
2023-10-19 19:00 - 22:00
Rain Date: October 21st

The undeniable truth is, we are all going to die. So why not embrace the inevitable and go dancing to our graves? This year’s Nightfall—the crowning event of Green-Wood’s fall season—is inspired by the danse macabre or dance of death. Dating to the Middle Ages, it describes skeletons enticing kings, cardinals, and common folk to their graves with musical accompaniment (or for the more reluctant, by hook or by crook). It’s a poignant reminder that the same fate awaits us all. Till then, shake off any fears or anxieties and join us in a celebration of time we have left together.

Nightfall: Danse Macabre
2023-10-21 19:00 - 22:00
NEW DATE: This evening of Nightfall has been postponed from Friday, October 20th, to the rain date of Saturday, October 21st. All tickets for Friday will be honored on Saturday. There are no refunds or exchanges.

The undeniable truth is, we are all going to die. So why not embrace the inevitable and go dancing to our graves? This year’s Nightfall—the crowning event of Green-Wood’s fall season—is inspired by the danse macabre or dance of death. Dating to the Middle Ages, it describes skeletons enticing kings, cardinals, and common folk to their graves with musical accompaniment (or for the more reluctant, by hook or by crook). It’s a poignant reminder that the same fate awaits us all. Till then, shake off any fears or anxieties and join us in a celebration of time we have left together.

Price: $75, $70 for members, $100 for VIPs
