BLACK is a complex combination of civilised history and surrealist murder that uses performers, text, image and sound to explore our fascination with true-crime.  By diving into the famed, unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short (aka The Black Dahlia) the work catalogues her brutal and mysterious death and the confusion of information that surrounds it.  It is a work that summons a multiplicity of truth to become, like the murder, unsolvable.
