The bone man is central in the medieval death dances, he brings the living into the realm of the dead. In our contemporary dance of death, the figure transforms, can take on many forms and wears different faces. It is not only seen as a representative of death, but also stands for the problems of our time. Climate catastrophes, disappearing glacier ice and perpetual fires, the spreading diseases, wars, reintroduced abortion laws and evocations of the end of the world. In the face of crises that seem almost biblical, there is a need for a memento mori. One that shows that without awareness of finitude, no future life is possible. Our dance of death is multi-perspective and interdisciplinary: a dance performance with live, pulsating sounds from analog feedbacks and a book that gathers literary voices.
