AFTERLIVES is a multimedia, interactive performance by Miss Theatre (led by Miss Oat) and Henrike Iglesias, staged simultaneously in Bangkok and Berlin. Using the multiverse as narrative device and metaphor, it invites two separated-yet-connected audiences to speculate on queer afterlives, politics of dying, and alternative ways of living together, with smartphones acting as portals linking the two spaces and their audiences.
