STEINVOR PALSSON / MATTHEW HAWKINS AND LUCY SUGGATE THE BODYFARM

Their first encounter was in the 1980s. Now witness Palsson and Hawkins as they reunite, conjuring an elegance in the here and now that feels just ripe. Teaming Handel’s music with an agile new soundscape, and costumes designed by Pearl, these two elaborate an ebullient connection. Lucy Suggate’s macabre exploration of what happens to our bodies beyond the rotting decay is inspired by the medieval images of the Danse Macabre. Death is personified as a skeleton who unites all in the dance of death. If I no longer have my body, what will I dance? She throws in a few surprises.
