DeadClub™ is open to those who are not dead yet. The recently dead need not apply. Standing room only.

Between two heartbeats, the light creeps closer and closer to your number. It won’t be everyone, but it might be you. Now there is only the present moment. Everything unfolds second by second and it’s loud and hot and the body works as if by magic. Now the real trouble begins.

DeadClub™ was a performance co-directed by Frauke Requardt and David Rosenberg, creators of Electric Hotel, Motor Show, and The Roof. In a shift from their previous spectacular outdoor collaborations, Requardt & Rosenberg created an up-close experience for a limited audience.

Informed by research into memory distortion following traumatic events, they did away with the seats in each venue, and placed the audience right into the middle of the whole mess.
