One Million People And Me is a multidisciplinary project in two parts on a subject that is perhaps the biggest taboo in the world: suicide. Every year more people die from suicide than from murder and war combined.

The first part, And Me, is a short film about the search of eight ambitious young adults for their identity. For this, theater maker Veerle van Overloop collaborated with choreographer Adam Peterson, filmmaker Lex Vesseur and eight young dancers and actors.

For the second part, the audio tour One Million People, Van Overloop made an audio adaptation of the book Suicide by French photographer and writer Edouard Levé. The text about the absurd fragility of our existence is accompanied by a soundscape by singer, guitarist and composer Bert Dockx.
