PANDEMONIUM - OR (DREAMING OF PARADISE)

Deep underground, two slaves toil at a furnace spewing black, oily liquid. Above them rules a tyrant whose cruelty hides behind a childlike exterior. In this claustrophobic universe, the slaves carry a dangerous secret - and when it is revealed, revolution becomes inevitable.

PANDEMONIUM - OR (DREAMING OF PARADISE) is a wordless performance where newly composed chamber music, physical theatre, puppets and film merge into a gesamtkunstwerk about fear, hope and the dream of another world.

Text, direction and scenography: Emil Veber Rasmussen. Performers: Mira Elisa Obling, Lukas Lykke Johansen and Thomas Diepeveen. Composer: Frederik Bak. Live music: Mathias Reumert. Recorded music: Athelas Sinfonietta.
