One Paragraph Synopsis:
Mary and John are lovers and dancers who have been performing together for years. Today it’s the end of the tour and the lead-up to their final dance, which also defines the end of their relationship. This period of time between the choice to leave and the actual leaving is unpredictable and emotionally charged. Tensions are high as they oscillate between staying strong, being weak, getting angry, feeling sorry. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter who broke up with who, why you’re angry or who’s to blame. Love is still present amidst the sadness and you just have to let go. As Mary falls into place at the end of their dance she discovers the end is a beautiful, simple knowing. Set against the evocative backdrop of Lake George in rural Australia, Dance Me To the End of Love is a heartfelt, experiential journey that navigates through the universally painful territory of breaking up.
