With Play Dead, the Canadian company People Watching has created an astonishing debut work. The show will be re-staged exclusively for the Chamäleon in order to artistically expand the facets of the Chamäleon stage with its extraordinairy and powerful aesthetic.

In a shifting universe of domestic trappings and interlocking stories, eight curious individuals dissect the beauty and absurdity of the human condition. A reverie, a purgatory, a place where anatomical logic and gravity don’t seem to apply. Through an otherworldly hybrid of acrobatics, dance and physical theatre, People Watching create contemporary circus that flows like water, sometimes gentle and reflective, sometimes relentless and impactful. Play Dead pushes physical boundaries at the intersection where circus and dance meet to celebrate life in all its eccentricity, the same way people desperately dance to the last song before the party ends.
