After-shows is a research project that collects and re-presents other people's memories of once-live performances — and looks at the (im)possibilities of trying to do so. The project gathers fragments of personal histories connected to no-longer-live shows and attempts to give them other, new lives by inviting others to repeat, interpret, watch, listen to, respond to, and interact with them.
