Director: Nick Peterson

Year: 2026

Two outlaws discover that they have been played and the only way to survive it is to rise above it all and dance. Two outcasts from society discover that they have been played by an unscrupulous world and the only way to survive it, is to rise above it all and dance the evil away even kill "it". One of the outcasts is threatening the other with a gun. They are having a violent interaction amongst the dancers. The dancers are the angels. They come to the rescue of the threatened outcast, by performing the “devil dance" conjuring the evil spirits. They surround the evil and the threatened outcast managed to remove the gun from his enemy and kill him. He has killed and he is evil too. The murdered outcast is lying on the floor and the dancers in turn bow down, in a sign of respect. The dancers toast to the dead wishing it a resurrection to a new being, pure and good. The ballet itself is a taken-on Britain's society in the 21st century and the desperation endured by some members of society too often ignored.
