WHO KILLED HORSEY?
LEAD ARTIST - PIG IRON THEATRE COMPANY
'Who Killed Horsey?' is a deep dive into the absurd world of human cruelty. Unfortunately society cannot seem to function without pain and suffering. Every day we are complicit in these acts of cruelty and still we fail to acknowledge them. This show bombards the audience with images that capture the harm we inflict on each other. Playing with multiple artforms, our cruel actions are transformed into an outrageous, visually rich feast lathered in dark humor for the audience to devour. An acrobatic sequence depicts the dissociation experienced by survivors of war. An ensemble of lambs perform ‘I Hope I Get It’ from A Chorus Line drawing connections between the brutal meat industry and audition cattle calls. A contemporary dance explores the fine line between an abusive and loving relationship. Think Romeo Castellucci on a budget created by a bouffon. 'Who Killed Horsey?' forces the audience to confront the consequences of their own cruelty while tempting them to laugh at it. After all, if we can laugh is it really that bad?
