ALLOUAQUI DANCE THEATRE
FOUR DAYS AFTER GERALD DIES
PERFORMED BY YAMA
Gerald is dead. Gone.
Forever dead, with a coveting tribute to be paid.
And now all that’s left is ten billion pounds, and a group of mourning women left to see who will get it.
Plunged into a strange situation, these women are faced with their wandering fantasies and exposed to their suppressed desires, in this short physical theatre satirical performance made for Yama Dance Company.
