THE DANCE OF DEATH has been performed every year on Maundy Thursday since the European Black Death in the small Mediaeval Catalan town of Verges. “The Dance of Death group comprises ten people, divided into groups of five. The five dancers – two adults and three children – are dressed as skeletons and carry symbolic objects: a scythe, flag, clock without hands and plates of ash. The other five figures are dressed in black tunics and move forward following the rhythm but without forming the dance steps.” Deeply haunting. ”
