I am guilty of being a major cinema-phile and guilty of often commenting this on several articles after reading: this would be a really unique fun subject matter for an indie film. Ideally, a balanced mix of absurdist comedy with some poignant observations honoring death/ceremony.
Thoroughly fascinating. Love a good story about macabre lost arts. Makes me want to make my own alpine death cheese for my funeral when I get my goats.
As someone from another tiny town in the Swiss alps with equally weird traditions, reading this made me smile :)
P.s. Florian, what “equally weird traditions” come to mind?
Here is one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvesterklaus The second one has no English documentation but hopefully Google translate works on this: https://www.tagblatt.ch/ostschweiz/appenzellerland/fasnacht-herisauer-begraben-einen-dummkopf-am-mittwoch-zum-174-mal-ld.606794

Agreed. This is an unusually fun weird read.
