Combining striking visuals and physical storytelling with dynamic projection and a resonant soundtrack, Ad Infinitum’s new non-verbal solo show explores a powerful journey of love, loss, and what it means to be a parent. Co-devised by Deaf theatre maker Ramesh Meyyappan and Ad Infinitum Co-Artistic Director George Mann, Last Rites follows a man who has twenty-four hours to perform his father’s funeral rights. Created in response to Meyyappan and Mann’s memories of losing their fathers, and their own lived experiences of fatherhood, they explore how grief and ritual have a universal power.
