As the saying goes, the only thing certain in life is death (and taxes). But a new mini-festival coming to the Espy wants you to embrace your own mortality, and in doing so, embrace life.
We’re All Going to Die is a three-day event where guests will be reminded of the fact that they are 100 per cent going to end up dead – so stop worrying and go enjoy the world. The mini-festival has previously been held in Sydney and Byron Bay, with the Espy being the first Victorian location to host it.
Wear black if you want to (it is Melbourne after all) but don’t expect We’re All Going to Die to be a morbid affair. Guests will experience everything from pop-up bedroom dance parties and life drawing to short films, Q&A sessions and death meditation (where you can experience the same loving and conscious way of thinking about living that terminally ill people often feel). Despite the title, the festival is as much about letting go of your anxieties as it is about death.
We’re All Going to Die is happening over three nights from March 26 to 28. Each night follows the same structure, so you only need to attend once (unless you really enjoy yourself of course).
