Digital Afterlives

“We’re ephemeral beasts, you know. We come and go… We’re not supposed to live forever.”

Digital Afterlives offers an honest look at how we experience grief in today’s increasingly online world. Constructed word-for-word from interviews with everyday New Zealanders, the play explores how we connect, remember, and honour loved ones through social media and other online platforms after they’ve passed. Everyone’s journey with loss is unique, and Digital Afterlives brings those personal stories to life, shedding light on the ways digital spaces shape how we grieve and keep memories alive. It’s a thought-provoking reflection on death, memory, and the digital age.
