My Undying Love

Immersive, intimate, unforgettable – a testament to love.

“My Undying Love” is an intimate, immersive, and interactive performance installation that places the audience at the heart of an emotional narrative about love, loss, and the final moments shared with a dying loved one. Limited to just 10 audience members per session, the performance invites participants to embody the role of family and friends gathered around a hospital bed in the last hours of life.

Created by Andreas Constantinou, “My Undying Love” is a deeply personal exploration inspired by his mother’s passing from terminal cancer. During her illness, Andreas conducted intimate interviews with his mother, asking questions about what love means, memories of her own experience losing her mother, and her wishes for those left behind. These recordings form the immersive soundscape that guides the audience through the performance, creating a layered dialogue between past and present, memory and presence.

The installation itself is a custom-built, dreamlike chapel, designed as a surreal and sacred space. A 360-degree surround video envelops the audience, portraying Andreas walking into the deep ocean until he is slowly submerged into the dark unknown. His body then appears to float ethereally around the room, suspended in the void, while his live, unconscious form lies at the center of the chapel on a hospital bed, connected to a heart monitor.

Within this evocative setting, the audience is gently guided by two nurses to participate in a series of intimate and interactive rituals—waiting, holding space, listening, sharing presence, and honoring the body through casting and ornamenting. Though rooted in Andreas’s personal story, “My Undying Love” opens a door for collective mourning, offering a universal space to hold grief, love, and memory together.

“My Undying Love” won Performance of the year at Aarhus’ Scenekunstens Priser in 2021 and was nominated for Special Performance of the year at the Reumert Awards in 2022.
