It’s the day of the dead in the early 1900’s, during Porfirio Diaz’s last glamorous ruling days. We are at Julian and Antonia’s wedding, to which we were are all invited by his father and host of the night, General Rivas. The night takes it’s course… Mysterious incidents occur and events are repeated in time. Ghosts, the visiting death and love will take over this night.
This is an experience in which the audience becomes a core element of a theatrical play, or even better, a wedding in Mexico’s 1900’s.

In 2016, we created an immersive show/dinner that took place around the Day of the Dead. It was a wedding in the 1900’s and the Menu was Pre-Revolutionary French and Mexican, inspired in Don Porfirio’s times. The audience were all guests to the wedding/ dinner and enjoyed being part of an immersive experience since the moment they received the invitation. It was a fun theatrical night out. The story was written in a way in which we blended in the history of one of the brands that was sponsoring us to create a story that connected the audience to the brand.
