Dead Language is a stimulating new theatre performance from cutting edge arts organisationFoolishPeoplewho seek to create art as a ritual utilising theatre, film and live art as their medium.

From 17th October through to 23rd October FoolishPeoplewill be performing their latest production DeadLanguage nightly at 8pm with two performances on the weekend, one matinee (2pm) and one evening,additionally there will be one public workshops during the season on Saturday at 4.30pm.

Dead Language:In the future all forms of culture has become free all major media corporations have failed in securing theirproducts from consumers equipped with duplication technology making it impossible to enforce copyprotection.

Perfect replicas exist of every artistic masterpiece created. The value of ownership of any form of art ismeaningless, with no way to discover the truth of an original once it has been copied and twinned with aperfect replica.

The only way for an artist to protect their worth is by recruiting members of the public who are willing tosacrifice their own identities, to be changed permanently and become a biological copy of the artist. Therebygiving birth to Weaponised Art, forcing consumption upon a bloated society, sick from every idea, cheaplyimagined and replicated.

The artist survives only by raising the core Flesh-Worth of their art.

One final piece of uncorrupted art remains, that has yet to be copied. A living story that is the last form ofprofitable entertainment.

This story is told by an army of Neonate Muses, spread out across the country within art churches erectedfor the public to consume this stillborn myth within.

Now, on the night of the final ever episode of the Story, you join us to learn the secret of how the world died.
