Kunstnerne om verket:

""AFTERLIFE" is not just an artistic exploration of what lies beyond life and how we make meaning of it all, it is also an attempt to communicate and convey the sense of bodily disconnection and bliss experienced in the midst of the accident, or at a person's time of death. Some things are simply too weird to be explained in words. So we did our best to create a stage piece, or a “computer game opera” that invites you into the surreal and magical world of that very moment. Relying on our references from gaming and growing up with everything from Wagner to Enya, the piece uses real-time motion capture technology, simulation spaces (the whole visual aspect of the piece runs in a computer game we coded ourselves in Unreal Engine) and heavy alienation of the body and voice through electronics, sensors and auto-tune to musically explore a sense of universal identification with passion and love for life, as well as a total disconnect to this world and our bodies. In terms of composition, nothing is left to chance and the entire piece is composed from A to Z on a fixed timeline."
