7.30 p.m.
'After All' is a celebration of our vulnerable and courageous existence with dancer Solène Weinachter . Solène melds dance, comedy, storytelling, and theatre to ask - what happens in the end?
Through a series of impassioned re-enactments of the funerals of those she’s loved - as well as imagining her own - Solène attempts to conjure a better sort of space for all of us to be with death, dying and loss.
'After All' is a heartfelt exploration of the death rituals we have - the ones we’ve lost and those that need inventing - joyously bringing us together to explore the role that dancing might play in healing.
