Art forms have been killing each other off for centuries. In an artistic autopsy, Aiken and Majzels examine the death of vaudeville. Through dance, performance and music, this film uses the trappings of vaudeville to tell the story of its demise. With a cabaret of sad double acts, aging burlesque dancers and tired magicians, the film takes a humorous and macabre look into the forgotten arts.
