The Jesús Ibáñez de Matauco theatre in Vitoria-Gasteiz will host the comedy of errors 'Rigor Mortis' on Thursday, November 19, at 7:30 PM, a production by Txalo Produkzioak and Tanttaka Teatro.

The play, performed in Basque, was selected for the Antzerkigintza berriak – Nuevas Dramaturgias program, an initiative promoted by ANTZ3RKIZ, which brings together the Municipal Theatre Network of Vitoria-Gasteiz, the Victoria Eugenia Theatre of Donostia, and the Arriaga Theatre of Bilbao.
The play tells a family story about death. The grandfather has passed away with his mouth open, and the grandmother will do whatever it takes to prevent anyone from seeing him that way, ensuring he is found with his mouth closed. The need to maintain appearances in front of their daughter and granddaughter will fully immerse the audience in the comedy of errors, featuring four women, a corpse, and many revealed secrets.
The text is authored by Dorleta Urretabizkaia, directed by Mireia Gabilondo, and the acting cast includes Garazi Urkola, Aizpea Goenaga, Joseba Apaolaza, and Dorleta Urretabizkaia herself.
