Ad Infinitum presents

Last Rites

Thu 23 - Fri 24 Jan, 2025
A powerful journey of love, loss, and what it means to be a parent.

An ending. A beginning. A goodbye.

One man has twenty-four hours to perform his father’s funeral rites. This intimate, final ceremony brings to life a rich tapestry of shared memories and a complex relationship cut short by death.

Combining striking visual and physical storytelling with dynamic projection and a resonant soundtrack, internally acclaimed theatre-makers, Ramesh Meyyappan and George Mann collaborate for the first time to create an epic, non-verbal solo show.

Multi award-winning theatre company, Ad Infinitum (Translunar Paradise ★★★★★ The Observer, Light ★★★★★ The Times) presents a bold new performance celebrating the transformative power of grief and ritual.

Last Rites is a non-verbal piece of theatre with no spoken words that is accessible to deaf, Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing audiences. The performance includes some BSL with creative captions and a soundtrack with heavy use of bass so that it can be felt or heard by audience members.
