MONDAY MOURNING
2006
The piece is a comment on mourning and the different ways it’s being expressed.
Using elements from death rituals and tradition, real life experiences and black humour, we created a piece that’s about the consequences of death on the living and their reaction to the loss of a loved one.
With the Death or abandonment or separation of a loved one, reality as we know it changes and that’s why we mourn. The time we take to mourn is the transitional period before we get used to our new reality. People’s reactions to death and the way they choose to express their grief is a very personal thing. By placing it on stage, we get to have a closer look.
We live to love
We love to live
We love to love
We laugh
