What we will be:

The poetry and tales of Edgar Allan Poe provide the foundation for a theatrical examination of death, decay and madness. The audience is presented with a series of episodes, each one tracing a narrative about decay: of sanity into madness, of life into death, of flesh into worms. Through this ritualistic performance of the works of the author that has defined more than any other the aesthetic quality of death, the ensemble aims to provide the audience with a reflective space in which they can connect and develop their own thoughts on the place of death in relation to their own life.
