Beautiful BONES is about death, the inescapable and final act of being alive. The west is spectacularly disinterested in death, especially our own. The rituals that surround death are left to others while we look away, pretending it is not for us. Beautiful BONES pays honour to human passing with irreverence and black humour – greeting death as a friend to be made welcome. An octet of professional performers and an enormous orchestra of trombones drive a battle between the four horsemen of the apocalypse and Santa Muerte, creating an unconventional street party.
