How does Death actually find their job? Does it sometimes make them sad that many people don’t like them? And why can’t all people live forever? In this performance, Death comes onto the stage and is interviewed by a journalist and the children in the audience. Along the way, the children learn why the departed never truly disappear as long as we remember them.
