Stance Oonk, Poortwachter
Dying is the transition of one phase to the next, a process we don’t know, uncertain as we are about death. We leave our bodies for another destination. Riding the waves of life we explore the road to death, dying and what might come after. This transitional process requires imagination and ritualization. Karel Winterink invites eight guests who will share their view of transience, during the transition from light to dark at night.
Karel Winterink (NL, 1958) is a funeral director. Since 2015 he has regularly organized Death Cafés and Socratic talks in parks and at peoples’ homes. He prefers an intimate setting for talking about our transience.
