My Death

T958534203
'The meaning of life is that it stops.' Franz Kafka. 'When you're 30 dark circles appear under your eyes and fine lines and wrinkles begin to show.' Anti-aging wrinkle cream advert. A woman stands on the brink of a life she is failing at and a death she is also failing at. 'To be or not to be?' is the question. Through one doorway she dies, only to have failed at life, through the other, she lives, only to have failed at death. Or she could have succeeded at life and death respectively; I suppose it depends which way you look at it. A show about show, performance and the ego: an existential crisis told through a variety of mediums including opera, clowning and conceptual dance.
