Dog Show
The Hong Kong Dog Serial Killer‘s been at large since the late 1980s. Nobody knows what drives them to leave poison-laced meat on popular dog-walking routes – but they’ve been killing strangers’ pets for more than twenty years.
In Dog Show, Kandinsky transposes this bizarre mystery to London, to explore the strange life of dogs in a city home to more than 200,000 of them. Part-silent film, part-thriller, Dog Show considers what man’s best friend has to tell us about love and loneliness, the city and the wild – and what it means to be human.
Four actors and a musician play an entire community of dogs and their owners. One autumn, the killer strikes.
