Funeral

Clear your morning schedule and go see this. Genuinely. It will do you good. If you needed a sign to mourn, grieve, let go of, or heal from that thing you need healing from; this is it. Just go.

I've never experienced theatre to be this deeply connecting/healing before. This show reiterated to me why we make theatre; to create community, to heal, to affirm the impact of collective ritual as connecting and joyful, even in mourning. 'Funeral' gave me a moment to grieve, to celebrate, and witness others as they did too. We were held by the cast in this, and it felt like space for honoring grief/joy. Afterward, I was able to connect with my fellow audience members in a way I have not in other shows and even made new friends.

This experience was/is deeply appreciated; thank you.

After seeing these guys for the last few years and falling in love with their stuff and everything they stand for, this was the first show I booked and the last thing I arranged to see at the fringe this year. Powerful, evocative and deeply moving, all I can say is thank you for giving me the space to feel this performance.

A masterful, immersive show that allows audiences to confront swallowed grief with tenderness. This show is phenomenal, thank you for bringing it to the fringe.

I managed to get a return on the door - well worth queing up for. This show is so good - so so so beautiful. An experience. A community. It is bound to jog memories if you have lost someone but it is handled so sensitively that by the end you will feel nourished and cared for. I am so appreciative of this company and their excellent work.

If you haven't managed to get a ticket, then there is little point telling you this is a must see show.

The first show we booked when the programme thudded on the doormat, Ontroerend Goed produce performances that we have to see - and they did not disappoint in Funeral. This is somewhere between theatre and performance art - a show about remembering, letting go and the sort of rituals we use to mark the "end of an event". As an audience member you are both participant and voyeur - skillfully and carefully handled from the start in what, for some. will be a very emotional performance.

If there was the opportunity for a standing ovation then we'd have given one - so a very big thank you to all involved in starting off of our Fringe on very high note!

"We come together at important events during our lives" and in this interactive event the other audience members become , briefly our family and friends at such an occasion. At moments, sitting on the darkly lit stage I felt moved to tears. Memories of places, events, objects that had significance and loved ones. I left feeling at peace with myself and the universe. To find out more I would urge you to go. Thank you for this experience.

Exquisite. A beautiful, tenderly-crafted production which is profoundly moving. An absolute must-see, 5*

A great way to begin the day, with calm and peace. Full review: https://youtu.be/cdiqYwAjn3g - starts 90 seconds in.

My highlight of the Fringe so far. A deeply meditative therapeutic and communal event exploring the passing of life and the holding and releasing of memories by those left. It is an experience I will hold in my heart for a very long time. Thank you. My recommendation to audience members is to arrive in time to let yourself slow down before it starts, and give yourself space and time after, to reconnect with the world of speed and need which will inevitably be out there when you leave the theatre. Be kind to yourself. Please book and experience this , especially if you have ever lost a loved one.

A genuinely brilliant piece, probably some of the best immersive theatre I've ever seen.
