The macabre and humorous Till Death Do Us Part (or Not) is based on Roald Dahl’s short story Mary and William. Amsterdam Sinfonietta and ISH Dance Collective wrap themes such as power, revenge, and medical ethics in dazzling string music, hip-hop, and acrobatic dance.

At first glance, Mary Pearl appears to be a submissive, dutiful wife who passively endures her husband William’s cold and authoritarian behavior. But everything changes when the terminally ill William agrees to a medical experiment in which his brain and one eye are kept artificially alive after his death. Mary not only seizes the opportunity to regain her freedom, but she also takes ruthless revenge for all the years William made her life miserable. And William? He must watch forever as Mary celebrates her newfound freedom.

Featuring works by Bach, Golijov, Wallen, Ronner, Kilar, Nyman, and Martinov, among others.
