MULTI-DAY & RECURRING EVENTS
THESE BIRDS, A Play Inspired by Death, Flowers, and Farkle by Merry Ellefson
Juneau Makerspace, 3915 N Douglas Hwy, Juneau, AK 99801, USA
Thursday, Jan. 29 at 7:30pm
Friday, Jan. 30 at 7:30pm
Inspired by conversations with diverse Juneau residents, These Birds, a play inspired by death, flowers, and farkle is a new interview-based play about death and dying. As stated by an interviewee, “No one gets out of here alive.” In a world often divided, death offers common ground: a place where stories meet, and where silence gives way to song. Through stories gathered from Juneauites of every age and walk of life, These Birds invites audiences to discover compassion, courage, and community in the face of life’s final mystery, and to cultivate connections with hospice, mental health, and end-of-life planning in our community.
