Event description

Shoalhaven Health and Arts is proud to present Funeral For Jesus as a part of the 2024 Yila Healing Trail

Funeral For Jesus, written and performed by Annette Tesoriero and directed by Regina Heilmann is a creative imagining of a civil funeral service for Jesus of Nazareth, complete with eulogy and exquisite live music from saxophonist and composer Megan Kovalik.
While sitting in a church one afternoon, Annette looked up at the crucifix and pondered what might it have been like for Mariam the mother of Eshua (Jesus) to not have the opportunity to fully lay her son's body to rest.

As an art performance, Funeral For Jesus is a thought provoking event that highlights our contemporary mourning rituals in relation to the nature of faith.

Light refreshment will be served after the performance.

Performers Annette Tesoriero, Meg Kovalik, Regina Heilmann and special guest artist Elizabeth Elder

VISION SHAA is a network of professional artists, allies & facilitators working with older people to explore the potential of contemporary performance practice & reflective conversation. We continue to push at the boundaries of artistic practice and resist stereotypical notions of 'aging' and marvel at the boundlessness of creative energy. We develop programs that are relational, creatively stimulating, encourage reflection and draw on the precepts of mental health & death literacy and care theory.

MISSION Our purpose is to enhance the capacity and agency of independently living older people in the Shoalhaven region. Through the delivery of a professionally led program, we acknowledge & amplify voices, stories & creativity.

VALUES & PURPOSE We believe that older people are creative agents whose voices, stories and presence are invaluable to the fabric of our community. We believe that older people deserve to have access to quality programs, best practice and respectful experiences. We believe in delivering programs in emotionally & physically safe environments. We believe that communities are enriched through active participation of its older citizens.
