1518: The Dancing Plague

Daredevil Arts Festival

A satirical comedy set against the infamous outbreak of mass hysteria that led to uncontrollable dancing.

The Electric Lodge

Get ready to shake your A$$ and dance ‘till you (hopefully) don’t die. 1518: The Dancing Plague is a satirical comedy based on the very real outbreak of mass hysteria that led to uncontrollable dancing in medieval Europe. As the city of Strasbourg descends into chaos, two (capital P) Peasants, Katherine and Anna, rekindle their long-fractured romance. Meanwhile, authorities and clergy scramble to contain the mysterious outbreak. The chaos of the plague, both absurd and dire, reveals uncanny parallels to the crises of our modern age. -------- LOCATION: ELECTRIC LODGE / KELMAN THEATER This performance is part of the Daredevil Arts Festival, a multi-weekend performing arts festival co-presented by Electric Lodge and Pacific Resident Theatre, celebrating bold voices and multidisciplinary storytelling in the Venice community.Choose from over 50 performances running July 11–19 (with an Opening Night Party on July 10).
