SORRY FOR AUDIO QUALITY!
In the summer of 1518, the streets of Strasbourg filled with musicless movement as dozens of people began to dance uncontrollably. What started with one woman soon spread to more than a hundred, their bodies swaying for days without rest. Some collapsed from exhaustion, while others are said to have danced themselves to death.
Known today as the Dancing Plague, this strange outbreak has puzzled historians and scientists for centuries. Was it mass hysteria, ergot poisoning, or a ritual gone terribly wrong? Join us as we explore the unsettling mystery of Strasbourg’s “dancing mania” and uncover why it remains one of the most bizarre medical and cultural events in history.
