We are very proud to bring you the 12th, and final, production in Chronic Insanity's 12 shows in 12 months project, 52 Souls by Nat Henderson and Joe Strickland.

"Humanity has both a morbid curiosity and an instinctual repulsion when it comes to death. For the next 60 minutes we'll find out which is stronger."

Even though it's something we will all go through, death is one of the least understood parts of the human experience, so Chronic Insanity has decided to dive into the deep end. 52 Souls is an open and fun pick-and-mix examination of mortality, death, and our reactions to this terrifying inevitability. Using a pack of cards, the audience randomly generates a series of performances to better understand humanity's obsession with, and ignorance about, death.

52 international performers, 52 scenes, and one hour to experience what you can.

The performance will soon be available with captions and a personalised content warning system.

The performance will be on demand and available for two weeks.
