Inspireret af Michael Kviums kunst
A Co-production by:
MERIDIANO TEATRET, OPERAEN I MIDTEN og TEATER ZeBU
Fools Paradise
Inspired by a deep artistic conversation with both the grotesque universe and Michael Kvium himself, the award-winning stage director, Giacomo Ravicchio, brings the characters to life and creates a skin-toningly honest and tragicomic caricature of a society where deeply lonely people haughtily carry themselves forward with egosim, self-staging, greed, and lust for power. Like the works of art, this performance also resembles life itself. Helped by laughter, we can freely reflect on the exaggerated creatures and their absurd actions, recognize ourselves and each other in them and understand how their anger and malice hide lostness and fear of being overlooked and pushed out of the community.
