Slutet

People sitting in two rows facing each other during a memorial or remembrance ceremony. They are holding candles, some with headphones or headsets, and a lit memorial or candelabrum decorated with flowers is between them. The room has dark walls, a curtain at the back, and a visible ceiling with structural elements.

Slutet (The End) is a documentary performance about the confrontation between life and death. In this walking performance we investigate the final stages of life. 

You will, together with a small group, get acquainted with a closely depicted collage of documentary voices about their work and relationship with death.

During the evening you will be guided through situations where you will be given the opportunity to handle the silence, the separation and the need for comfort that occurs in these rooms. You meet other people during one evening and what brings you together is the thought of what happens to us when we die.
