The Etiquette of Death

The Etiquette of Death La MaMa is proud to present the World Premiere of The Etiquette of Death, a Chris Tanner Production co-directed by Everett Quinton and Julie Atlas Muz.

Death is a messy and terrifying horror. Or, it can be a quiet, unapologetic thief in the night. For the past twenty-five years living in the East Village Chris Tanner has been surrounded by death. He’s obsessed with how the dying and those who love them behave in the face of it. When you explore the artifice and manners that surround this unruly journey – the etiquette of death — the outcome can b

e absurd, paradoxical, wrenching, and at times, hilarious. He’s asked a group of artists he admires to help him put together a collage of scenes, songs, poetry, music and dance that explores the “Etiquette of Death.”

The cast includes Robert Appleton, Beth Dodye Bass, Kirstan Clifford, Matthew Crosland, Lance Cruce, Angela DiCarlo, Machine Dazzle, Jezebel Express, Angie Hobin, Sarah Kraynik, Agosto Machado, Joseph Mahan, Brandon Olson, Greta Jane Pedersen, Eugene the Poogene, Everett Quinton, Yosvany Reyes, Mike Russnak, Chris Sharp and Chris Tanner. The creative and design team includes Jeremy Halpern (Musical Director), Steven Hammel (Set Design), Becky Hubbert (Costume Design), Susan Hamburger (Lighting Design), Chuck Hettinger (Props), Perfidia (Wig Design), Daniel Nelson (Assistant Director) and Leonie Ettinger (Production and Stage Manager).
