Have you ever lost something and found it really difficult to get over it? 

Vestige is a collaboration with the public to design and perform personalised memorial ceremonies for losses that do not involve death. 

Ceremonies can commemorate love or hate. Examples may include broken relationships, leaving a job, moving house, menopause, or changing genders. Services might be conceived to farewell lost belongings, the end of the weekend, or a favourite TV show ending.

Each participant will be invited to burn, destroy, dismantle, or scrub clean an object of evocative value to allow the owner to grieve for their loss or to be set free from memories that may haunt them. The remains of which will be placed in an urn for them to keep or discard in a location of their choosing.

Part collaborative performance art, part ritual theatre, Vestige will offer participants the chance to say a proper goodbye to something they have lost.
