A series of salon events on death – literature, music, discussions & information
Following three successful events, the salon series continues. People want to live – and die – as cheerfully and independently as possible. “Jetzt ist Sense!” breaks the silence. Beforehand, they give too little thought to their need to say goodbye. The more they engage with this, the more valuable it becomes to have a plan for an emergency – a personalised farewell. Because the more freely people deal with it, the easier it becomes. They let death into their lives. The theatre comes to an end at some point.
