Elvis Died of Burgers is devised by the four BLINK performer-directors who love food. If they’re not eating, they’re talking about it, dreaming about it, and now…dancing, rapping and rhyming about it.

Take a seat at their table as the cast spill the tea on their own memories, food stories and relationship to eating with plenty of their signature sensory and often bizarre tangents…Good Food Gospel anyone? As their journey progresses they explore the thin line between the hilarity and tragedy of overeating and find themselves deep diving into the culinary conundrum surrounding the exact events of Elvis, The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, at the end of his life. ELVIS DIED OF BURGERS has a non-linear narrative; it’s semi-improvised form creates an exhilarating ‘edge of your seat’ experience for audience and cast alike.
