Enough charm to power an ocean liner, and the comic timing of a precision watch.

Laced with theatrical ambush and digression.

Masterfully uses the stage and body to explore grief & remembrance.

About AFTER ALL

AFTER ALL is a celebration of our vulnerable and courageous existence. Solène Weinachter melds dance, comedy, storytelling and theatre to ask: what happens in the end?

 Although death comes to all of us, talking about it is often a taboo that can leave people isolated in their grief. 

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 in with death, dying and loss. 

AFTER ALL is a heartfelt exploration of the various 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.
