Ep. 010: Dancing Plague of 1518 / THERE WAS NO CURE
(DOWNLOAD MP3)

In July 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea began to dance fervently in a street in Strasbourg, France. This lasted somewhere between four to six days. Within a week, 34 others had joined, and within a month, there were around 400 dancers. Many of these people eventually died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.

Historical documents are clear that the victims danced. It is not known why these people danced to their deaths, nor is it clear that they were dancing willfully.

On this episode of Don’t Be Seen, we pay tribute to THE CURE. Kevin Attics culls the best from demos, b-sides, deep cuts, live tracks, and elsewise.
