AFTER ALL
AFTER ALL is a show about death.
In this celebration of our vulnerable and courageous existence, Solène Weinachter melds dance, comedy, storytelling, and theatre to ask - what happens in the end?
Although death comes to all of us, talking about it is often a taboo that can leave people holding their grief in isolation.
Through a series of impassioned re-enactments of the funerals of those she’s loved - as well as imagining her own - Solène attempts to conjure a better sort of space, for all of us, to be with death, dying and loss.
AFTER ALL is a heartfelt exploration of the different death rituals we have; the ones we’ve lost and those that need invented. Joyously bringing us together to explore the role that dancing might play in healing.
