By Dom Coyote and the Bloodmoneys

 

Inspired by Philip K Dick's post-apocalyptic novel Dr. Bloodmoney and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, Songs for the End of the World is a show like no other, obliterating the line between epic theatre and raucous gig.

Welcome to New Albion, a near-future dystopia of suffering and exploitation. While some predict armageddon, many are simply preparing for the end.

When the apocalypse does arrive, astronaut Jim Walters is left suspended in orbit on his way to Mars, broadcasting his songs for the end of the world back to a silent Earth.

Dom Coyote, a regular collaborator with Kneehigh Theatre and his high octane, multi-instrumentalist band the Bloodmoneys, have toured and recorded with artists including Beth Orton, Scissor Sisters, Gary Newman, Goldfrapp, Beth Gibbons, and Tinie Tempah. 

Origins Award Winner for Best New Work at Vault Festival 2016.
