About this show

Strasbourg, 1518. A town living on the edge, having recently been through multiple plagues and famines. There are those resigned to the fate of the town and those who try and struggle on. Religion dominates, but the church cannot solve the mystery of the dancing townspeople who just can’t stop.

Expect a thrilling movement-led performance with a mesmerising crossover of medieval-influenced singing and contemporary electronic dance music. Join the search for the source of the dancing plague and help to save the cursed town!

This new musical exploration comes from writing duo Evie Atkin (music and lyrics) and Evie Press (book and lyrics).
