STARDUST - Installation
STARDUST

“To die means to live better.”
STARDUST is a participatory installation-and-performance. It looks at dying as an act of empowerment, self-transformation and radical care to address the social, political and ecological crises that we are currently facing. STARDUST is as much an artistic meditation on dying as it is on living. It hopes to give a glimpse of how closely interconnected we are to each other, as well as to the natural world. By dying, we also let the power structures inscribed in us die, opening up the space for a future that is more caring and socially and ecologically just.
Over a period of 8 days, STARDUST unfolds as an interactive, sensorial and living installation. Visitors are invited to write their own eulogies, listen to an audio guide (“Instructions for Dying”) or join in an intimate conversation about dying. The overarching narrative follows the 8 stages of death transformation in Tibetan Buddhism: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, White Light, Red Light, Black Light and Clear Light. As part of the installation, 7 performers (30 - 64 years old) will perform their individual dying rituals. Their themes range from collective burial, letting go and disappearance to healing, remembering and connectedness. On the final day, they perform a group ritual, in which all the eulogies created are turned into dust – a reminder that we are all made of stardust.
