LedaLeda is a funeral oration, an enacted eulogy, for the artist’s late sister, Leda Papenfusscline.

Julia Duray and Lukas Papenfusscline, who both devised and perform the piece, draw on their experience with familial death and interweave it with story and memory, working through ancient myth, humor, pop culture, personal experience, and spiritualism.

In an attempt to make art that goes beyond “therapy theatre,” LedaLeda provides a modern contemplation on mourning. Humans have desperately mythologized their experience for centuries in order to avoid realizing there may be no sense at all in the cycles of violence that surround us. Death lacks remedy: there is nothing to learn.

Created and performed by Lukas Papenfusscline and Julia Duray
