Scenes from the End

Scenes from the End is a new, daring, solo show that embraces the emotional power of opera to explore the overwhelming themes of death and grief.

In three parts, Scenes from the End begins with the end of the universe, moves through the end of humanity, before finally addressing the end of the individual. What is grief? How does society perceive death and grief, and how does this affect your own experience of grief? At times reserved and reflective, at times unashamedly direct, Scenes from the End will leave the audience challenged and shaken, forced to consider and reflect upon their own attitudes towards death and grief.
