Dance away the tears at a "grief rave" in a pink disco kiosk
This summer brings a new way to deal with grief. It’s not a helpline or a new antidepressant
– instead artist Annie Frost Nicholson has created a disco where you can dance away your existential pain. The Fandangoe Discoteca, a brightly coloured kiosk
whose design is inspired by De Stijl and postmodernist
architect
Ettore Sottsass and which holds up to eight dancers, arrives at London’s Canary Wharf
this month before touring the UK and Europe over the summer. As well as DJ sets, there’ll be meditation
and yoga workshops, dance classes and “grief raves” where clubbers can request tracks which remind them of absent
or lost loved ones.
