Mortuus - a new theatre show celebrating ‘Day of the Dead’ rituals from around the world

Saturday 7th November 2026 1:30PM followed by a creative workshop. £3 per person age 5 plus

Mortuus is a new theatre show by Infamous Arts celebrating ‘Day of the Dead’ rituals from around the world, touring this November.
 
Around the world, November is a month of remembrance, from the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico, Samhain in Celtic tradition, to All Souls’ Day in Europe.

Mortuus is a gentle new theatre show for all ages and families that takes us on a journey through global myth and folklore.
Storytelling and puppets come together to honour the universal human tradition of celebrating the dead in this vibrant, immersive storytelling theatre.
 
All around the world, November is a time for remembrance and celebrating the lives of people who have gone before.
In Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (day of the dead) festival, people adorn private altars with brightly coloured flowers, sweet breads and personal items. In Japan, the Obon festival brings people together to celebrate their ancestors with prayer, dance and floating lanterns. And in Nepal, the Gai Jatra festival, people mark the loss of a love one by processing a sacred cow through the streets, accompanied by laughter and costumes.
