An installation, a video and a performance is the threefold proposal to talk about death by La Veronal, one of the most internationally renowned dance companies today. Directed by Marcos Morau.

It is a doleful yet euphoric phantasmagoria based on a séance session to celebrate the fragility of life.

As practice, ritual and cliché, the mediaeval dance of death gives us a poetically pertinent image of death and the justice it metes out: we all end up staring it in the face; everyone inevitably reaches the fatal hour. Revisiting the dance of death well into the twenty-first century, in the maelstrom of a world hurtling towards its own terminal chaos through thousands of social, digital and spiritual revolutions, is a deliberate anachronism, almost a meditation.
Our Totentanz is just an invitation to celebrate the fragility of life and to meditate on how it has lost value. We have all built a world where death is more normalised and closer than ever. And at the same time, it has never seemed so far away, so remote and incomprehensible. The current disdain for the values of life is directly proportional to the widespread inability to interpret, dance or officiate death as a mystery. More than five centuries later, the dance of death is back to teach us to question where we’re going, who we are and what this place we inhabit means, before death takes us by the hand and embraces us in its dance.
— Marcos Morau
