This performance piece sought to question why humans often grieve in such public and ritualistic forms when a loved one passes. By applying these same practices to a neighborhood squirrel, these somber traditions are seen through a novel lens. As the attendees were not acquainted with the deceased, the service acted as a blank page to experience and express mourning in their own ways.

cold pain with no grief
who can grant the right to mourn
