Funeral
Ontroerend Goed
Funeral: ‘I don’t believe in God but I miss him?’ (Nothing to Be Frightened Of, Julian Barnes). A collective ritual about the finiteness of things. It will start in the dark. We will greet others and say goodbye. There will be singing and pretending. There will be light and room for darkness. We’ll light candles, eat and drink, and celebrate life. And all of that will end. Welcome. A theatrical ceremony, a new ritual that brings people together. Because everything is finite and we are going to have to live with that.
