After All
It is 8am the 26th of May 2018. I am sitting behind my father at the crematorium. The undertaker comes in and asks if anyone has brought any music to commemorate my uncle Bob. After a few uneasy glances and stuttered excuses, we understand that no one has brought anything to celebrate my uncle's life. The undertaker intervenes with a pan pipe version of 'My Way'. It is then that my father turns towards me, tears running down his face, and asks: ' Solène, can you dance... Please?'
After All is a one woman show about our rituals of death - the ones we have, the ones we have lost, the ones we crave and the ones to be invented. It is a collective celebration of our own mortality and an ode to life.
