afterlife plunder

afterlife plunder, a drag, dance, music, and storytelling performance—addresses, confronts, and embraces questions and rituals around living and dying: the afterparty of the afterlife. This intimate journey, led by two dancers and accompanied by live music from the duo I Broke the Vase, unfolds in forceful and sometimes raucous physicality, balanced by moments of tenderness, support, and connection.
Choreography and creation by Amy Chavasse in collaboration with performers:
