DEATH BISCUITS: Dance for your life (2026)
DEATH BISCUITS is a show about the moments where, when all else fails and there’s nothing left to say, we dance.
From viral YouTube clips, to the Instagram doom scroll and iconic movieverse's, DEATH BISCUITS blends dance, sound and video to figure out what's left to hold on to in a world that's at odds when we're at odds with ourselves.
Following the “raucously fun” DOUBLE ACT (★★★★), Honey & Lemon return with a dance odyssey for an intergenerational cast of performers. A dedication to the transformative and transcendent power of movement, DEATH BISCUITS is a provocation to lose your head and find your body. If in doubt, dance for your life.
Supported by The Arts Council, Mermaid Arts Centre, Project Arts Centre and developed at FRINGE LAB with the support of Dublin Fringe Festival. Please contact us to learn more about bringing DEATH BISCUITS to you.

DOUBLE ACT (2024)
“the laughs are wonderful, but it’s the moments of tenderness between them that remain with you”
★★★★ - The Reviews Hub
An all-singing, all-dancing (all-talking), two woman show from Honey & Lemon. Tracking the history of women in entertainment, DOUBLE ACT begs to question: how did we get here and where are we going? It’s hard to know where to start.
Two performers get together to unpack the last 100 years and set themselves up for the next. A lesson in resilience, friendship, and, above all, sticking together.
Audience praise for DOUBLE ACT:
“Sharp, funny, moving”
“Raucously fun, with love & tenderness snuck between laughs”
“Frolic, frivolity & friendship… will really stay with me”

Audience testimonials:
“I cried watching it… to show women that age doesn’t mean the end of self discovery and expression.”
“Can’t stop thinking about Margaret… the power of the arts to touch us in a way that there is even no words for.”
“Honey & Lemon have created a true gem of a film: Margaret. “Community dance at its best… very moving and powerful.”
MARGARET (2025)
A film by Kristian Mantalvanos
Margaret is a reminder of the possibilities that dance offers to communicate and connect with abandon, holding us in collective celebration and personal discovery.
Following an open call to the community, searching for women of all ages with a desire to move their bodies, an intergenerational cohort spent 6 weeks together exploring dance, choreography and creativity. This documentary short is Honey & Lemon’s debut screen work and is a collaboration with film artist Kristian Mantalvanos.
Kindly supported by The Arts Council, Mermaid Arts Centre and Wicklow County Arts Office.
