A darkly comic clown show, in which our hero literally dances with death.
The piece revolved around the tragicomic relationship between a lonely dancer and a dead body. It was about death, reality and exuberant dancing.
Alongside this project we hosted a series of Death Cafes in Sheffield, Leeds and London.
