Laten we ons openstellen voor elkaar, en we zullen niet langer alleen zijn. 

Grief is a kind of loss that silently demands compassion. We offer our help without being asked because we can imagine eventually feeling this same pain ourselves. But when it comes to suicide, everything becomes more complicated: it eludes our understanding, leaving us with questions we often don’t dare to ask, fearing we might be inappropriate. Thus, we risk drifting away. On March 22, 2022, Clara lost her father—he took his own life. Clara is one of Gianmarco’s closest friends, and this performance tells her story. A portrait was brought to life through her words, artistic visuals, and the music of three composers, representing her emotions: anger, dissociation, and loneliness. But everything is seen through the eyes of Gianmarco, the friend trying to approach a pain that seems untouchable. Because we are our emotions. Let’s open ourselves to one another, and we will no longer be alone.
