About After Life: Your memories illustrated

Which one memory would you choose to take to eternity? This is the question posed by After Life, a film by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-Eda, and now an opera by Dutch composer and film-maker Michel van der Aa, at the Barbican Centre on Saturday 15th May (for more information, visit and book here).

The opera’s characters are about to trade their earthly existence for a place in heaven. They are allowed to choose a key moment from their lives to relive in the form of a film that they can take with them to eternity.

Submit your one memory which you would take with you into the After Life, and a lucky few will be illustrated by Augustine Coll. We’ll also be asking Michel van der Aa to choose his favourite memory and the author of that memory will win a framed print of Augustine Coll’s illustration.

How to participate

We still want your memories! Go to the After Life website and submit your memory (even anonymously, if you wish). Tweet about it, tell your friends, and check back here to see if yours was one of the lucky ones!
