Perry Gits / Tafel van Vijf Muziektheater - FAREWELL

The audience is taken on a becoming of age journey about the celebration of life and death. The performance takes place on a specially designed Claywalk, a catwalk made of earth and clay, inviting the audience to travel along towards a new beginning.

The dress code for the audience is a symbolic reference to Ghanaian funeral rituals, where black represents grief and mourning, and red stands for the emotional pain of loss.

The travelling exhibition accompanying FAREWELL by Museum Tot Zover invites reflection on cultural and personal rituals and traditions surrounding life and death. Museum Tot Zover is located on the grounds of De Nieuwe Ooster cemetery in Amsterdam and collects objects and stories about history, contemporary culture, and the ways we relate to life, death, and farewell.
