Set\u00a0 in\u00a0 a\u00a0 shifting universe\u00a0 of\u00a0 domestic\u00a0 trappings\u00a0 and\u00a0 interlocking\u00a0 stories,\u00a0 People Watching\u2019s debut creation\u00a0 \u2018Play\u00a0 Dead\u2019\u00a0 brings us a surrealist chronicle of the familiar. The show’s inventive mix of acrobatics, dance, and physical theatre casts circus in a fresh and unexpected light. By giving place for seemingly unexceptional stories to unfold, we look closer and marvel at how beautiful, twisted, and sometimes laughable reality can be. Far from settling into bored fatalism, this show marvels at the absurdity of the mundane and celebrates life, the same way people desperately dance to the last song before the party ends.<\/p>\n
