I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN is a site-sensitive walking performance and an interdisciplinary ritual that explores grief and our relationship to changing surroundings. 

What do we allow ourselves to grieve about – and how do we grieve in Western societies today?

LiLi Re invites you to a performative mourning ritual that explores our emotional relationship with people, places and the non-human world. The performance combines an intimate voiceover, soundscapes, textile installations and physical and vocal expressions, inspired by the practice of 'lamentation' – a collective and bodily language of grief.

By bringing grief into public space and into the collective experience, I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN seeks to create new forms of connection and reflection, weaving together the relationship between grief, care, and place.
