ABOUT THE SHOW
Travel from the UK to India in Last Rites, a stunning fusion of visual storytelling, electrifying movement, and an immersive soundscape, created by internationally acclaimed artists George Mann and Ramesh Meyyappan.
How do you say goodbye when words were never there?
Arjun’s father never learnt sign language, and now that he’s gone, Arjun must find his own way to honour him. In a world where ancient traditions meet modern reality, Arjun embarks on a deeply personal and visually mesmerising quest to create a farewell ritual for his father woven from memory, love, and loss.
With no spoken words, Last Rites features creative captions, Sign Language, and a deep, resonant soundtrack that can be felt and heard. Last Rites is accessible to Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing audiences alike.
