Details

The World's Greatest Show is a dance-theatre work exploring the compelling and disturbing phenomenon of 1930's dance marathons during the American depression; human endurance contests where couples danced almost non-stop for hundreds of hours competing for prize money. The longest recorded marathon lasted for 3,780 hours. Choreographed by Arthur Pita with original music by Frank Moon (composer for The Metamorphosis) and a live jazz band, The World's Greatest Show paints a dark, dreamlike picture of the desperate people embroiled in these enormously popular 'entertainments'.
