Ritual (London)
“I had planned to catch the first couple of hours of Ritual and then head off. But the longer Ritual went on, the more determined I was to see it through. [...] If you’ve been waiting for bold, genuinely different immersive theatre in London, Ritual is a very good sign.”
—Immersive Rumours
Witness Immersive, London
In the forgotten depths of the Mycenaean palace, Orestes lies in wait. The gods have gone quiet, and he can't figure out why.
But he is desperate, and determined, to make them speak again.
An immersive theatre experience spanning 8 hours, anchored by a single actor performing throughout. fully-designed space replete with family mementoes and ancient artifacts, watching all the while as Orestes undertook Greek religious rituals in an attempt to make the silent gods speak to him once more.
Previously staged in NYC in 2021.
