Synopsis

How do we remember those who have died? Why are we so attached to their stuff? Have you ever pictured your own funeral? Erin has. She’s pictured yours too. Not everyone will be in black and at least one person will just be there for the buffet. In her debut show, poet and performer Erin Bolens explores our relationship with legacy and loss. Using wit, warmth and funeral tunes, What We Leave Behind tenderly examines the rules and of funerals and grieving.
