Dommedaggry

Squirrels wouldn't dream of gathering us and placing us in a hollow tree in autumn, but are we still worth preserving? In Apocalypse Dawn , director Lisa Lie, set designer Ida Grimsgaard, and costume designer Alva Brosten, together with the occult black metal band Witch Club Satan, will take the audience into a downfall where the underground emerges. They are inspired by terrifying doomsday scenarios from the Middle Ages and the lavish aesthetics that prevailed among the newly wealthy survivors after the Black Death. In search of the beautiful, the true, and the good The world has ended many times. We have dreamt up doomsdays for thousands of years. We have recounted memories of catastrophes, historic moments to remember as horror and warning. This mirrors the circular human existence; we arise and die alone in a kind of ring, instinctively assuming that all outer phenomena should resemble this as well. These daydreams and memories, and the struggles to understand that we are worth something, along with the oppressive feeling that we should be punished all the time, are effective self-fulfilling prophecies and collective psychoses. They have led us to the brink of death, once again. And from this side, we descend into humanity's underworld to search for hope in the shadows of the self. Is there hope? Is hope good for us when it makes us so dangerous? Do we humans have mitigating traits that we might even celebrate? Silverfish, meteorites, and doomsday In the performance, we will encounter an unsuspecting cast in a world invaded by overgrown, red silverfish while the earth gets bombarded with meteorites from outer space. The audience can expect a visually seductive apocalypse with wild voices, heavy music, striking costumes, and an absurd, twisted humor, mixed with sacred and beautiful passages. INFORMATION FOR THE AUDIENCE At each performance, it is possible to purchase seven tickets that are on stage. Those who buy these tickets will somehow be involved in the performance.
