| Description |
The phenomenon of dancing mania has left a mysterious trail through history – entire communities infected with a spontaneous urge to dance until they literally drop. It’s suicide with a backbeat, but what’s behind these lethal outbreaks? The devil’s drumming or religious ecstasy? Neurological decay or otherworldly arrival? A riot of motion and mayhem that spans from medieval rites to modern day marathons of mass movement, The Plague Dances is a dance of death with a contagious undercurrent. |
