The centuries-old legend of La Lechuza originates from Mexico and South Texas, and it tells of a large owl with a woman's face. In the dead of night, her cries mimic those of a baby, luring victims to their deaths. It's believed that seeing, hearing or even dreaming of La Lechuza is a bad omen and a harbinger of death.as she shapeshifts from woman to owl.
The performance also will feature musical accompaniment by San Antonio musicians odie and Joe Reyes. Odie is a longtime fixture of the music scene as a member of bands including Buttercup and NASA Country. Joe Reyes is a Grammy award-winning guitarist, producer and engineer.is partially funded by a City of San Antonio Individual Artist Grant awarded to Barrera.
