‘Alebrijes’ at Bluegrass Youth Ballet

The Bluegrass Youth Ballet kicks off its 15th anniversary season with “Alebrijes: Pedro’s Magical Spirit Creatures.” This one-hour performance is based on the true story of Pedro Linares, a Mexican piñata maker.

While on his death bed, Linares dreamed that elements of the earth transformed into colorful, strange creatures. After a miraculous recovery, Linares created the form of beloved Mexican folk art known as Alebrijes.

The show will take place at the Lexington Opera House on Friday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets start at $18.
