Japanese Grandma Funeral

Next showing 17:45, Today at ZOO Playground, Edinburgh

Comedy
Kento the clown missed his grandmother's funeral in Japan due to Covid restrictions. He's trying to recreate the traditional rites, but it keeps going wrong. Can the audience help him achieve closure in this gentle, heartwarming comedy? Blending clown and storytelling with Japanese and Okinawan funeral customs, Kento attempts to process 108 of his grandma's memories, along with unresolved thoughts and small, stubborn facts about her life, in a show that is both deeply personal, yet widely relatable. What begins as a failed ceremony becomes a gentle, intimate invitation to laugh, remember and let go.
