The Stepfather
By
Arthur Pita
2007
Inspired by country and death songs, Arthur Pita tells a macabre yet humorous tale of a sticky family situation.
In this twisted yarn the Candoco dancers are transformed into skittish characters who writhe their way through brazen dances and intimate interludes. With a ukulele, and a noose they unravel this murderous “dansical”.
Fans of both vigorously clever, tongue-in-cheek dance theatre and genuinely ghostly romance ought to be tickled and intrigued…
Very funny and most original
