The Future of Death (performance)

The
Future of Death
project
examines human attitudes toward death and dying: on the one hand a “natural
phenomenon” that critically determines the human condition, on the other hand a
concept imbued with various cultural codes, (religious) beliefs, and social
environments. During their workshop the authors together with approximately forty
participants explore both personal stories and collective mythologies, while
their aesthetically minimalist yet meaningful performance-installation offers us
a precious opportunity to confront our own attitudes towards death. They not
only reveal the symbiosis between the natural and the social, between intimacy
and the public domain, but also pave the way for entirely unexplored
interpretations of death.
