Regrets

A theatrical concert about death—with life as the guest of honor.

Regrets is a poetic concert performance that brings together music, theatre, and film. It tells deeply personal stories about living, dying, and surviving—and in doing so, offers a gentle and uplifting perspective on mourning. At its core, Regrets is a call to live fully and fearlessly, here and now.

The idea for this performance took root during my flight to Tokyo, while reading The Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware. In the book, people nearing the end of life reflect on their choices and share what they most wish they had done differently.

The most common regret?
“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”

That realization struck deeply. Many of us—perhaps unconsciously—sacrifice parts of our lives to meet expectations, to be accepted, to fit in. We silence our desires, delay our dreams. But in the face of death, those compromises are laid bare. And that moment, when nothing can be undone, is one of profound pain.

Regrets gives voice to these stories. It reminds us of our mortality—not as a warning, but as an invitation.
Will you let your precious life fade in the shadows of obligation?
Or will you show up, day after day, and give it your all—with what you have, and who you are?
