Nachlass: German word composed of «nach» (after) and the verb «lassen» (to leave). «Nachlass» corresponds to the whole of material and immaterial goods left by a deceased person. In a more specific sense, especially in research, «Nachlass» indicates the totality of records (letters, works, documents...) that were in possession of a person or a collection that a person has built during his or her lifetime.
What will remain of myself after my “self” is gone? How have I lived my life? How will those whom I love continue to live after my departure? Will I stay alive in their memories even after my death? And up to which point and until when will these memories persist? This installation of the main European theatre innovators Rimini Protokoll is not only about death, but how do you find your way to pass away, and that this way is very personal and irreversible. Eight rooms and eight stories of people, who made a decision to get ready for the death in advance. They do want to face her fully armed and leave us, living, a message.
