WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
An explosive hybrid performance of video and theatre, Dead Set #3 explores the embodiment of trauma through a synthesis of reenacted pirated dialogue, borrowed online chats, and choreographic action derived from sampled movement.

Dead Set #3 is a hypnotic and disturbing work from the vanguard of iconoclastic theatre.
Dead Set #3 is presented as part of the Under the Radar festival.
