// reuniting at a dinner party, an after-dinner conversation between three friends leads to revelations of self-reflection and the understanding of loss. As the evening goes on, and the alcohol flows, the discussion heats up, and words are exchanged that can never be taken back

// developing the piece from the concept of a dinner party, we realised that despite not being able to have one unanimous idea of what a dinner party could look like, we could all agree on the fact that the after dinner conversation was often the more important and memorable part of the evening

// the peculiar atmosphere that develops during these evenings is often a driving force to initiate difficult discussions that might be too painful to face in other moments. We agreed that the narrative should surround a topic that we, as a team, could all connect with and would also provide audiences the opportunity to reflect on their own relationships with their friends and loved ones. After much deliberation, we settled on the topic of grief and loss
