'It is not as if an “I” exists independently over here and then simply loses a ‘you’ over there’ [...] If I lose you [...] then I not only mourn the loss, but I become inscrutable to myself’ - Judith Butler
Part-cult, part-funeral, Near To explores the paradoxes of grief.
When we lose someone, we lose parts of ourselves. And yet within these voids there is the space to generate new stories and new hope.
In Near To, three people try to make sense (or nonsense) of their grief. Through sharing their stories, the mundane and fantastical coalesce into an unconventional eulogy, or rather, a fierce love-letter to life, in all its absurd variations.
Ultimately, Near To asks how remembering and re- imagining can be tools for healing, joy and transformation.
