Description

Mixing documentary footage, storytelling, and live music, The Death & Life of All of Us is a funny and poignant exploration of family secrets, shame, and embracing our imperfections. At 19, Victor found his long-lost great-aunt Marcelle in Rome. She'd moved from Judaism to Christianity, Lebanon to Italy, changed her name and kept a life-long secret. He started making a documentary about her life. 20 years later, he still hasn’t completed it... Victor Esses returns to Summerhall after critically acclaimed Where to Belong: ‘A beautiful story spanning continents and generations’ ***** (AYoungerTheatre.com).
