What needs to happen to be able to bid a final farewell? How can life go on? What does death mean?

In “Goodbye, Lindita” (2023), the second part of his trilogy, Mario Banushi examines grief and the process of coping with loss. The audience witnesses the poetic farewell of a family mourning Lindita’s passing. Without any dialogue, the performance takes us on a journey that explores how we can come to terms with death. In this visual meditation, Banushi draws on funeral and burial rituals rooted in Balkan traditions – where every ending becomes a beginning.

After the performance on Friday, 20.6. there will be an audience discussion in the Upper Foyer.
