We decided to create a mocumentary on Pere Lachaise. In a nutshell, the drama that occurs between imaginary dead people in Pere Lachaise. We call it The Cemetery.

 

We were at first inspired by Barbie and wanted to create Barbie goes to Pere Lacahaise, a satire and overly dramatic show. That led us to be inspired by Keeping Up with the Kardashians. to create a reality TV shows on celebrities buried in Pere Lachaise. We were struggling to find something that wasn’t disrespectful. Finally that led us to be inspired by The Office, a comedy TV show about the everyday life in an office filmed on a low budget.

 

The characters are ridiculous, and some are very unlikely to be in Pere Lachaise which adds to the joke, and makes it more acceptable to do this project. Our characters are a russian scientist, Sacha, who died in Chernoble, Nicole: a French Nurse that died in the first world war one, Wes: a surfer from California who died in south of France and somehow ended up in Pere Lachaise, Godfroy: the oldest guy in the group, from the middle ages, he always forgets he is in the 20th century, and finally Amy the new girl who doesnt know how she died (this is the mistery of the show, she was actually murdered) and whom we are giving a tour of the cemetery.

    

 

 

Politically incorrect and sensitive in topic, the series explores an afterlife spent inside the establishment of a cemetery.

We focus on the aspect of Pere Lacahaise on being a celebrity cemetery. It is a satire and an exaggerated awkward comedy. It is a play on how it is a tourist location but also a practicing place of mourning and remembrance. 

 

We also got kicked out of the cemetery 🙂
