A king is obliged to carry the corpse of a hanged man on his back - but the corpse is not dead, it is possessed by a storytelling vampire, whose enigmatic puzzles threaten to burst the King's head into a thousand pieces... The magical storyteller, TUUP, and virtuoso sitar player, Sheema Mukherjee, both core members the wild world music collective Transglobal Underground, team up to tell transglobalised versions of these stunning, 2,000 year old tales. This is an 11th Century Indian fairytale being brought right into the heart of the West End - as much an encounter as an event, it promises to be a bold, raw and experimental piece of performance storytelling.
