"A story of love that refuses to die with death…"
The Second Goodbye is modern music theatre performed with live music, actors, puppets and multi-media blending both European and Asian theatrical forms into a fascinating story about love and separation. Director Jos van Kan and a team of artists from the Netherlands and Taiwan have created this original play over a period of two years, mixing different cultures and styles in a multi-disciplinary performance.
The performance tells the story of a man with the difficult task to continue living after the death of a loved one. He bravely and desperately faces this challenge and tries to return his wife from the world of the dead, risking his own life and that of his child in the process. His spectacular journey through the underworld will bring us in touch with all aspects of the human condition: death, separation, loyalty, mourning, and cruelty, but also humour and the story of a love that refuses to die with death.
