ABOUT THE SHOW
An ending. A beginning. A goodbye.
One man has 24 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. A powerful journey of love, loss, and what it means to be a parent.
Combining striking visual and physical storytelling with dynamic projection and a resonant soundtrack, internationally acclaimed artists Ramesh Meyyappan and George Mann collaborate to create an epic non- verbal solo show.
Multi award-winning Ad Infinitum presents a bold, critically acclaimed performance celebrating the transformative power of grief and ritual.
