A magical performance about letting go
In Goodbye Old Herbert we meet Herbert on the very day death comes knocking — in the form of a dancing, enticing, and magical being who has arrived to guide the elderly gentleman into the beyond. But letting go can be difficult — of one’s possessions, relationships, house, and memories. Herbert clings desperately to life and refuses to surrender, so the being must unfold its entire magical circus universe for him…
Goodbye Old Herbert is a delicate, whimsical, visual, physical, and almost wordless story about surrendering to the inevitable and discovering that death may perhaps be full of light, colors, celebration, and fireworks
