Dying animals don't feel sorry for themselves
When was the last time you were shot by an arrow and wandered the desert for a week?
Dying animals don't feel sorry for themselves ponder the existence of fate. A ride through the testimonial, magical realism, and carnivalesque - a collage of images within the microcosm of the bar. At times surreal, the performance pulls the carpet back on the mind of two souls floating through their own lonesomeness. We observe the beautiful effort of people passing through life.
