Death: Southbank Centre's Festival for the Living

The Ultimate Equalizer, The Grim Reaper, The Blessed Release. One thing is certain - we all have death in common and this January we defy taboos and take a look at this unknowable certainty from many angles.

Through music, workshops, literature and installations, and talking with everyone from philosophers to funeral workers, we examine our attitudes towards death and why we are so reticent to talk about it.
