The Experience
The Museum of the Inquisition, Trials and Tortures transforms for the Day of the Dead season. The walkthrough is done on foot through the hallways in darkness, with actors just inches from the audience, jump scares, mysticism and the history of the trials and tortures alongside the gods of the underworld. It is not a seated play: it is an intimate walkthrough of approximately 1:15 hours, with a reduced capacity of 40 people per show.
About the Play
During the Day of the Dead season, the Museum of the Inquisition opens its hallways to the gods of the underworld. Dioses del Inframundo is an immersive, multidisciplinary theatrical experience blending mysticism, history and horror: the audience walks on foot, in darkness, through the trials and tortures of the Holy Inquisition while the ancient gods of death take over the venue. Jump scares inches away, a ritual atmosphere and Mexican legend in an intimate, seatless format.
This Is for You If…
- You want a different Day of the Dead plan: immersive horror in a historic museum in Mexico City's Historic Center, with reduced capacity.
- You are drawn to the legends, mysticism and gods of the underworld of Mexican tradition, brought to life in a theatrical walkthrough.
- You want an intense nighttime experience during the Day of the Dead season, with two shows per night (19:00 and 20:30) and up-close treatment.
