When Georges dies, his four friends vow to find the perfect tribute. They’ve been scouring the roads for a year now, and they still haven’t found it. To make matters worse, their little truck breaks down, and there they are, stranded on the side of the road. What if this were a sign? With a single strum of a guitar, a door opens onto an afterlife full of humor and tenderness, where the dead may not have had their final say… With Goodbye Georges, the Engrenage theater company tackles the theme of grief by blending theater, music, and cabaret. In this burlesque and supernatural street performance, four characters take the audience on their impossible quest for the perfect farewell, poetically charting a possible path between the living and the dead.
When Georges dies, his four friends make a promise: to find the perfect tribute to honor him. A year later, they’re still on the road, searching—and still no closer to an answer. As if things weren’t complicated enough, their little van breaks down, leaving them stranded by the side of the road. Could it be a sign? A door opens onto a joyful and tender afterlife, where the dead may not have had their final word after all…
