Émilie Rousset & Louise Hémon

Émilie Rousset and Louise Hémon take a humorous approach to a subject that is still taboo in our Western societies: death. Based on a series of interviews about our beliefs, rites, and funeral practices, the duo interweave theatrical and film material to go beyond the real and the anecdotal. A mortuary make-up artist, a QR code provider for tombstones, and the living dead all appear on stage. Here, far from being depressing, death is revealed as a joyful subject.
