AFTERLIFE is an immersive, multi-room art experience about death and transformation – a playful reckoning with the fact that “we’re all gonna die.” Audiences move through a series of experiential rooms combining music, film, performance, projection, and installation art, examining the many ways we humans think (or don’t think) about mortality and the mystery of what comes after it.

STORY BY
DYCEE & SARAH
A magical meditation on death, transformation, and interbeing.
AUDIENCES ARE SAYING…
“One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen or experienced in Nashville.”
“Disney-level magic.”
“I felt both deeply embodied and also disembodied as we moved from room to room.”
“Teeming with contemplation, delight, humor, mystery, sorrow, and interconnectivity.”
A funhouse about death
What happens when we die?
What the fuck happens?
I don’t know.
COLLABORATORS
In developing this new work, we asked ourselves: “What changes when we fully acknowledge that we will die?” Rather than framing death as an endpoint, Afterlife explores it as a threshold – a reminder of our entanglement with one another and the living world. The project draws on the idea of interbeing: that nothing exists independently, and that our lives are woven together into larger cycles of decay, regeneration, and transformation. We are all connected.
“…connection to the fragile, miraculous fact of being alive…”
