The Post Mortem concept is conventionally associated with a mournful imagery, corresponding to an idea of uncertainty towards a dimension that is still unknown to us. The afterdeath is not necessarily a tragic element once you dissect and understand the origin of the condition. We face a variety of experiential and spiritual possibilities that are achieved once we assume a loss of the physical body and what this loss could unveil.

Post Mortem / YESSR6 reviews the concept of death, questioning its meaning, to redefine it as a portal or as a beginning of a new process, as parallel reality or even as an unappealable end of the sensitive experience. This subject matter will reveal how different cultures look at death and what may come after it, making cross paths with religion, culture and spirituality.
