Morbid & Sons – Bone-idol
Business is dead! No one is dying anymore; the obituaries in the newspapers have been blank for weeks. The Morbid family is struggling to make ends meet and poverty has forced them to take to the streets to sell death to the living. They hope to drum up some much-needed funeral trade by travelling from town to town with their Victorian “pop-up funeral shop”.
Listen while the Morbid family sing humorous songs about hideous deaths and watch as they display their expertise by way of a “demonstration funeral”. Be careful, they might “kill you with kindness”, or “embalm you while you wait”! Remember, death comes to us all in the end. Join the Morbid family as they attempt to put the “fun” back into funerals!
Morbid & Sons is an interactive, macabre experience about death and the afterlife, a musical treat for all the family created by Curious State. Funded by the Arts Council.
