Funeral Ecstasy

The Paradise

Enter an impressive audiovisual installation, and be swept up in a mix of sound, light art and performance. This unique experience invites deep reflection on the impact of the cyclical nature of life and plays with our perception of time and impermanence; is it a celebration, a guided meditation, or a rave for the end? 

The Paradise is the first volume of Funeral Ecstasy, a series that challenges common notions of endings and encourages a heightened awareness of the present moment, emphasizing the value in each passing second. Can we really accept that everything is impermanent? And is there an alternative approach possible for dealing with the inevitable?

The Paradise makes you aware of the moment, emphasizing the value of every second. In an installation with performers, you are led through ebb and flow, moving between darkness and light, intensity and calm. The work was developed in close collaboration with the audience.
