Am Seil abelo – A Gravedigger's Ballad

Description

Lunzi, the gravedigger, is dead. "Endgültig ustrunke, d Schufle n abgä, am Seil abeglo." Meanwhile, in the hall, the funeral feast is being served, Philipp sits with his double bass in the empty guest room. At the table where Lunzi always sat, he tells stories and episodes from the everyday life of the gravedigger with his unmistakable wit. He shares with us the earthy craft, introduces us to the funeral business, walks with us through the rows of graves, sings and reflects on the past and the transient. Death as a silent guest by his side. www.galizia.ch Participants and additional information: Words: Philipp Galizia, Keys: Christian Roffler, Direction: Adrian Meyer
