RITUALE at Bishop Arts Theatre Center

Part ritual, part environmental theatre, RITUALÉ is a celebration of the Día de Muertos Mexican holiday. The multi-day celebration focuses on gatherings of family and friends to remember those who have died and help support their spiritual journey. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars, or ofrendas, honoring the deceased using calaveras (skulls), marigolds, favorite foods of the departed, and visiting their graves with these as gifts. Visitors also leave possessions of the deceased at the graves. Join us for this one of a kind artistic endeavor that only develops and grows with the audience.
