'Grieving' widow twerks on cutout of dead husband next to open casket as guests cheer
A video has emerged of a woman in Peru grinding up and down on a life-sized cardboard cutout of her dead husband, while a room full of funeral guests cheer her on
It’s never easy when a loved one dies. But there are a few ways to ease the pain in the days and weeks following a tragedy.
That might be therapy, talking to friends, or perhaps taking up a hobby. Or, as one widow from Peru did earlier this month, you could print off a life-size cardboard cutout of your husband, hire a reggaeton singer and twerk next to an open casket. Whatever works – no judgement.
A bizarre video posted by singer El Cangri del Callao on July 6 shows him performing in a packed room while a woman – dressed in black and understood to be the deceased’s widow – performs an erotic dance.
The unnamed woman is cheered by the crowd as she rubs her behind onto the cardboard crotch of the departed. It really is moving stuff, and you can feel the emotion pouring out of her while she twerks him off into the afterlife.
What’s frustrating is that the majority of onlookers in the room are filming the event. What happened to just living in the moment? Also, who films at a funeral? Have some respect, please.
For obvious reasons, the video soon went viral and has been viewed over four million times on Instagram. “Hey bro, I am going to die on July 23 – are you available?” someone chimed in the comment section.
While many voiced their disdain at what is admittedly a very unconventional method of grieving, perhaps there’s something to be said for making a funeral a bit of celebration. And if that’s performing in a sexually suggestive manner, so be it.
If we’re really getting deep, the origins of twerking can be traced back to ancient times, where isolated hip movements were used in community gatherings. The movements weren’t intended to be sexual – they were cultural and symbolic.
Another clip posted to the singer’s social media account, understood to be from the same funeral, shows six blokes rattling the coffin about and dancing it through a room. People whoop as the upbeat reggaeton music plays on.
Another comment from a budding funeral photographer read: “I've personally covered funerals and wakes, but always from very different perspectives than what this video shows.
"I've never had the opportunity to capture a farewell from such a luminous, vivid perspective.”
He then proceeded to offer his services, should anyone else fancy having a twerk if their husband dies.
