It\u2019s Halloween this Saturday, and quite a few places in Rotterdam intend to mark the occasion. At BAR, they\u2019ll be celebrating Dia de los Muertos<\/em> met Benny Rodrigues en Ben Fresh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This Mexican party is all about remembering the dead. Those still with us can get in the mood by painting a typical Mexican \u2018sugar skull\u2019 design on their face. The evening kicks off with delicious Mexican food, and throughout the night, BAR will be serving mezcal<\/em> \u2013 tequila squared. Headache guaranteed! Anyone with a sugar skull painted on his or her face is given a free shot and gets to keep the 8 euro admission fee.<\/p>\n

For a slightly more expensive evening \u2013 although you\u2019re guaranteed to be dazzled by the costumes \u2013 head over to MTC Beauty and the Beast<\/em> in Annabel<\/a>. Ted Langenbach and Pietra Ligura\u2019s events are known for their edgy dancers and extravagant dress codes. This time round, the themes to choose from are: Twin Freaks, Poltergeist Playboy <\/em>or Hairy Horror Handjob. <\/em>Inspired yet?<\/p>\n

Would you rather go out in your regular togs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Friday, IFFR, North Sea Jazz and Kunsthal will be organising a joint offering: Mash Up<\/a>. Start the evening with the avant-premiere of director Joachim Trier\u2019s new film \u2018Louder than Bombs\u2019. After that, drop by the exhibition \u2018Keith Haring. The Political Line\u2019. And you can round off Mash Up with a special performance by Dominic J. Marshall, in which the 25-year-old British jazz virtuoso allows himself to be inspired by the Haring exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
