Meridiano Teatret (DK)
FOOLS’ PARADISE
.
Duration: 75 minutes | Language: None | Age: 14+
Dive into a grotesque and humorous universe when the figures from paintings by the prominent, Danish artist Michael Kvium are brought to life. The award-winning playwright, stage director and scenographer Giacomo Ravicchio reproduces all the feelings and experiences he himself gets as a spectator of Kvium’s works. Inspired by Kvium’s grotesque universe, and with the tools of the theatre stage and a sculptor’s sense of space, Ravicchio creates a brutally honest and tragicomic caricature of a society of deeply lonely people arrogantly leading the way with selfishness, pomposity, greed, and desire for power. The performance is a cross-artistic mix of drama, musical theatre, performance, and puppetry.
