THE DEAD ONES

Presented by Margie Fischer, in association with Vitalstatistix

The Dead Ones explores death, memory, family and the power of objects through storytelling and photography.

Margie Fischer’s parents were Austrian Jews who fled from Vienna to China to escape the Holocaust. After 10 years in Shanghai they came to Australia as refugees. 

Margie lived with her extended family in the house her father built in Sydney. Her grandparents died there, so did her brother. When both her parents also died Margie was left to clear out and sell the house. While doing this she became fascinated with what is left when loved ones die. Throughout this time she documented her feelings and the processes involved. 

Part obituary, part theatre, part slideshow, part lecture, part wake, part homage to William Yang, this life-affirming solo performance is the first created by Margie Fischer since her critically acclaimed award-winning show The Gay Divorcee.

“Deceptive in its simplicity, deftly weighted, beautifully detailed.” The Australian
