Lost Dog formed in 2004, their first work Pave up Paradise Burgos won first prize at the International Choreographic competition and second prize at the prestigious Hanover choreographic festival. Since then they have created and toured four full length dance theatre works in the UK and Europe to critical acclaim. Hungry Ghosts is a dynamic twisted telling of one man's night out at the theatre. The show explores the moment our life crosses from the real to the surreal as a theatregoer struggles to understand how he became an unwilling performer in someone else's terrifying show. He thought he was just getting ready for a night out but it seems his preparations were for something much bigger; his reluctant debut, or even his own death. Lost Dog's unique combination of dance, theatre and live music come together in this highly original new work to tell the story of a man's journey through a tragically theatrical act of terrorism. As the sole survivor he is haunted by the stories of those who didn't make it and is desperate to find sense in this nonsensical act. A darkly funny and moving piece of dance theatre. Running time 1 hour Lost Dog Dance website.
