Funeral - Ontroerend Goed

Met Funeral makes Ontroerend Goed a collective ritual about the finiteness of things. It will begin, in the dark. We will greet each other and we will say goodbye. There will be singing and pretending. Then there will be light and room for darkness. We will burn candles, we will eat and drink, and celebrate together that we will live long. And then it will end. Welcome. After the interactive performances about economy (£¥€$), democracy (Fight Night), and online radicalization (TM), Ontroerend Goed this time looks not only at the audience but also into the eyes of death. Funeral is a theatrical ceremony, a new ritual that brings people together, whatever they believe, are, or think. Because everything is finite and we have to learn to live with that together. “An extraordinary sanctuary of tenderness.” - The Guardian “Funeral is a moving, almost transcendental experience that’s filled with ritual, humility and humanity.” - British Theatre Guide
