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.Four Larks has emerged as one of the country’s most dynamic new collectives. In the most unexpected locations, they have created a series of transformative junkyard operas that blend lush visual assemblages with mesmerising original live scores. As Malthouse Theatre’s 2012 Company in Residence, Four Larks will have the opportunity to captivate new audiences with their unique brand of theatre. Clear your dance card.
