The Dinosaur Show is about legacy. It’s about all we want to leave behind.
Inspired by an argument in Bath and a museum about a prehistoric age this is a five chapter performance of epitaph and memory, faith and uncertainty.
Using a fascination with the age of the dinosaurs as motivation, the company articulate their desires, hopes and ambitions for the moment when the meteor strikes, the fatigue sets in and all that’s left of them is a distant memory.
