About the Production
House of Fates was commissioned to develop and direct a large-scale immersive experience celebrating a milestone birthday in San Miguel de Allende. Designed as a multi-day journey, the production brought together over 30 performers including actors, dancers, musicians, fire artists, a string quartet, a choir, DJs and many unique performers to transform this turning of age into a living, breathing singular work of art.
Blending theatre, ritual, opera, epic costumes and surrealist stories, the experience unfolded as a mythic initiation for the Queen of Hearts, simultaneously guiding guests through a series of interconnected worlds where reality and imagination dissolved into one. Every artistic choice was carefully crafted in resonance with the client's vision, her story of reclamation and her inner world making the experience beautifully tailored and deeply meaningful.
Leaving everyone with memories that will last a lifetime.
