Toby or Not to be
‘Toby or Not to be – stories of death and dying’ is a performance of traditional wisdom tales and music threaded through a series of conversations with a child about death and dying. It explores how ‘we’ think about death, or more to the point, often don’t want to think about death.

About the event
‘Toby or Not to be – stories of death and dying’
“In each life there are two lives, and the second one begins when we realize we only have one.” Confucius
A donkey’s fart, a spider’s web…a tortoise’s grand idea – who can guess the guise of death.
Toby or not to be – Stories of Death and Dying is a collaboration between storyteller Tanya Batt and musician Peter Forster. A weave of song, music, contemplation and conversations with traditional stories that consider our relationship with death and life.
Winner of the ‘Beyond Words’ Dunedin City of Literature 2022 Fringe award.
