Last Rites celebrates the transformative power of grief and parenthood with exciting physical storytelling, dynamic projection and an immersive soundtrack. Told through a deaf man’s unique perspective, this show tells the poignant story of a complex relationship cut short. Internationally acclaimed theatre makers Ramesh Meyyappan and George Mann collaborate for the first time in multi-award-winning Ad Infinitum’s moving new non-verbal performance.

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

Last Rites is made possible through funding from Arts Council England and Bristol City Council and co-commissioned by London International Mime Festival, Derby Theatre and Corn Exchange Newbury. This production is supported by Paul and Joanna Pearson.
