Prepare to be dragged into a surreal nightmare where reality twists and the bizarre reigns supreme.

MOTUS IN MORTE plunges you into a hallucinatory wasteland of giant puppets, shadow creatures, and hand-made horrors born from hot glue and raw imagination.

Built on the bones of ANTHROPOCENE19 and HELLMOUTH22, this is DIY theater like you've never seen—every piece crafted with heart, sweat, and a burning desire to break the boundaries of live performance.

Enter the chaos, feel the pulse of a world unraveling, and experience the thrill of creation in all its wild, apocalyptic glory.

This project received Cash for Equity through the Fringe Fund, as part of the Ralph Mclean Microgrants program.
