YOU ARE GOING TO DIE

YOU ARE GOING TO DIE is the new performance work from Adam Scott-Rowley - creator of the 2017 sixteen ★★★★★ awarded and internationally touring show THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT.

​

Performed entirely naked, this show is a nail-biting descent into existential anxiety as humanity stares down the proverbial toilet. A surreal meditation on annihilation that rests on the knife edge between physical theatre and performance art. Ideograms and archetypal forms offer a shared purge illuminating the darkest corners of the human psyche while revealing compassion and humour in the most unlikely of places. 

 

★★★★★ 

"Scott-Rowley’s incredible physical performance is utterly captivating, holding the audience with every pained gesture and moment of levity.” - British Theatre Guide

​

★★★★★ 

"The overall effect is both monstrous and magical. Magical because, here, dying is framed, not as a process of atrophy, but rather as an act of accretion or accumulation: a celebration, a natural gathering of speed and experience, a means of moving towards the end, unafraid.” - The Skinny

​

★★★★★ 

“YOU ARE GOING TO DIE is a physical theatre masterpiece. It is entirely absorbing, entertaining, humorous but hitting really poignant spots in every audience member.” - Get the Chance Wales
