A medieval meditation on death and love set in the 21st century, set amid a stunning cemetery

Johannes von Saaz’s scintillating dialogue was penned the day after he lost his wife in childbirth. In this text he locks horns with Death in a journey through despair, laughter and love. Moving through woodland, design installation, song-scapes, and aided by a community chorus of the dead, this semi-promenade production took audiences through a fascinating journey into the landscape of Death.
