Dir: Ariella Stoian. Original music by Hence Therefore. A (somewhat) lost Australian classic; self-proclaimed a tragicomedy; brought to new, ruddy life.
A Young Man feels trapped in his lodging house bedroom; unable to articulate what it is he wants to say and failing to understand how to DO.
When his Landlord dies unexpectedly he is forced to help the new widow by fetching the Relatives for the funeral; to eat the ham and to say the neat, consoling things people do say on such occasions.
The Ham Funeral explores how art and life are inextricably linked and reminds us you must do to be and engage to create.
