With the direction of the Belgian Tom Roos the show “The Ceremony” reflects poetically, theatrical and absurd on the condition of the human being in the face of death, mourning and farewell rituals.
Carpathian by profession, La Melodonna, the protagonist is called to hold another funeral but this time things take an unexpected turn.
Where do we go when we leave? Can we still make another farewell beyond life?
Leaning on impulse and play, the protagonist is amused in a “other world” investigation, taking the audience with her on an astonishing adventure through the “beyond.”
Inspired by classic works such as Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone and myths of antiquity such as the Myth of Orpheus, the play is created in an interactive way with the public that in the end becomes the protagonist of this fun crossing.
