Death Song

"A masterclass in poetic, visual storytelling"

The Stage

Juan lives alone with his 15 year old daughter, Paulina, in a trailer park just south of Las Vegas. He works hard to build a life for them both; cleaning casinos by night and washing cars by day. But beneath the surface of their quiet existence, the claustrophobic relationships that will lead to tragedy are forming.

With a haunting live original soundtrack on cello and guitar, and performed by a cast of Puerto Rican, Basque, Catalan and English actors, Death Song is the tense, electric story of a Mexican man on death row in Nevada during the 1980s, and the events leading to his arrest for murder seven years earlier.
