As an epilogue to this performance, we also invite you to attend the Death Café held by the artist at 11am on Sunday 13 October at The Green Sheep café, Thurles.
Solène Weinachter's AFTER ALL is a light show about the dark subject of funerals. It is a celebration of our vulnerable and courageous existence. Solène melds dance, comedy, storytelling, and theatre to ask - what happens in the end?
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 death rituals we have - the ones we’ve lost and those that need inventing - joyously bringing us together to explore the role that dancing might play in healing.
AFTER ALL is brought to audiences in Ireland through the Regional Dance Touring Network initiative led by Tipperary Dance, Dance Cork Firkin Crane and Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre.
