World premiere of the new solo performance by Stuart Lynch:
FASHION ZOMBIE
Fashion Zombie is a challenging, provocative and darkly humorous. The work explores the artistic, socio-economic and ecological implications of collective, global, human denial. It is a road trip into an imagination where monologues, dance and the songs of David Bowie argue that our fascination with Vampirism and/or Zombie culture is not a love of horror but suggestive of a collective hypnosis that pacifies and numbs us to the forthcoming ecological crisis. It explores the cognitive dissoncance of world where the free market economy freely pollutes the earth, jails individuals trying to save that earth and a world that spends more money searching for a new habitual planet than would pay to feed the poor of the world 5 times over. Over 60 minutes we meet fanaticism, apathy, psychotic Texan preachers and learn exactly how many Zombie films have been made since 1961. Fashion Zombie is a remarkable and unique solo performance.

"Lynch's new performances opens the Dance Festival 'Dans-K' at Kaleidoskop and is a complete hit: exciting, wild and promising.” Janus Kodal POLITIKEN Denmark
