Chapter 1, Section 1 of The Dancing Mania is an evening-length dance theater piece based on the bizarre true story of a medieval dancing plague. In 1518, the residents of Strasbourg were stricken with an unexplainable, irresistible, extremely painful urge to dance madly until they collapsed. Hundreds were affected; dozens died; two months and many rival curative attempts later, it was suddenly over. It was after the invention of the printing press, in the midst of the Protestant Reformation, in the aftermath of plague, famine, and natural disasters, when great societal trauma was about to erupt into a new social order - a time not unlike our own. Chapter 1, Section 1 of The Dancing Mania takes a close look at the moment when blood starts to boil.An all-female-identifying creative/design team, cast, and crew weaves together their experience in dance, theater, design, crafts, comedy, and new age healing to explore this story through a contemporary lens.
