Concert Design- in an end on theatre

Every 32 years, on the third of the month of May, countless people disappear from the smallest villages across the country. They are not missed, for their pitiful irrelevance in society deems them overlooked, forgotten. How could so many people vanish without announcement or trace? To which dark land are they drawn to? This is the story of The Sorry Fool.

A collaborative creative music performance, with post-punk, rock, dark melancholia genre music performed by a band all costumed in woodland-themed attire and a set dressed to be a forest clearing in the 'mourners' wood’. Telling a folk-story underscored with themes of self-discontent, cult/pagan rituals, and transformation.
