GUEST: Åh jag dör!

Bardo ensemble

A performance that examines the moment of death and the extinction or eternity of the consciousness.

My name is Anita Berber. I was born in 1899 in Germany and have lived a wonderful and wild
life as an actor and dancer. Now I have been dead for almost 100 years, and I am quite bored.
Right now I am in Helsinki and dying to meet people and to dance for you!

I came into a garden
The garden was full of orchids
From the flowers I touched and adored
Came a hand
Which smelled like sweet semen
From this sensous flowerland
The hand came closer and closer
I was “not” afraid
The fingers choked me
Five red drops fell from my lips
Then
I
Was
Dead

Åh jag dör! (Oh I’m dying!) is an intimate performance that examines the moment of death and
the extinction or eternity of the consciousness. A performance that is curious about people’s
relationship to death and how it affects how we live.

Note that there are only a few tickets on sale per performance.
