Play Dead
People Watching
Canada
Set in a universe of domestic trappings and interlocking stories, People Watching’s new creation Play Dead observes the beautiful, twisted and laughable facets of human behavior.
Through its dynamic physicality and visual storytelling, the piece puts forth a surrealist chronicle of the familiar.
Instead of giving in to dull routines, Play Dead finds wonder in the ordinary and celebrates life with a strong desire for connection and inatmacy, like people dancing desperately to the last song before the party ends.

CREDITS
PRAISE FOR
Play Dead
"The show is surreal and oneiric, something that brings us to each corner of our own subconscious."
Edgar Zendejas
"They have taken the art of clowning and theatrical absurdity to a level that, like the circus, defies gravity and embraces risk as well as the bold intimacy of physical trust and interdependence."
Nadia Drouin
"Tie your hat on with a pin, the People Watching collective will sweep you up in a maelstrom of high intensity. A brilliantly interpreted creation with a flow nourished by stage action, danced acrobatics and acrobatic dance, Play Dead also features a theatricality brought about by the set and the acting."
Françoise Boudreault, Cliquez Cirque
