by Solène Weinachter
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.
There will be an artist talk following the show on May 9
