With seven extraordinary dancers, Story, story, die dives into the urgency of performance itself — bodies of immense technical skill and artistry pushed to extremes in a relentless search for connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Their physicality is visceral, immediate, and internationally acclaimed, giving the work its raw pulse and emotional force.

The title stems from an improvisation game in which a story must continue seamlessly — hesitate, and you “die.” It mirrors the demands of modern life: fail to keep your story alive, fail to perform happiness and success, and you risk falling out of sight. In a culture obsessed with self-curation, visibility itself becomes survival. The audience is left breathless.

Developed in close collaboration with the cast, the work incorporates their own narratives into its fabric, making the performance and the performer inseparable. What emerges is dance of extraordinary calibre, urgent and truthful, grounded in the real yet unafraid of fiction.

As the culture of narcissism among the current “Me” generation grows stronger than ever, the happiness we aspire to drifts further and further out of reach.

Story, story, die is a relentless meditation on the things we do to be loved:

Please: Watch me. Want me. Hug me. Hold me. Hurt me. Hate me. Help me. Hide me. Stop me. Try me. Trust me. Kiss me. Kill me. Catch me. Keep me. Remember me. Call me. Find me. Fuck me. Follow me.
Fake me. Like me. Love me. Love me. Love me.
