As Mexodus approaches the final performances of its acclaimed New York City run, the company is marking its closing week with a heartfelt celebration inspired by Día de Muertos — the Mexican tradition that honors the memory of those who have passed while keeping their spirits alive through art and community.
The creative team and cast of Mexodus are building a special Ofrenda (altar) in the lobby of the Minetta Lane Theatre, featuring photos of their loved ones and personal tributes that reflect the show’s central themes of heritage, migration, and resilience.
Starting Tuesday, October 28, audiences attending the final performances will also be invited to participate by adding the names of their own loved ones to the display — transforming the theater into a space of remembrance, unity, and shared storytelling.
The Ofrenda will be on view through the closing performance, aligning perfectly with Día de Muertos traditions and offering a poetic conclusion to Mexodus’s celebrated New York engagement.
