Programme
Symphony of Solitude - S.O.S.

Recommended age: 14 +
Symphony Of Solitude- S.O.S. is a surreal and playful performance installation. With humor and empathy, sound and images, the performance sheds light on loneliness, togetherness and the strange dynamics of neighbors. And the way in which neighbors become the background music that accompanies our lives.
The performance takes place in an installation that takes the form of a giant cut-out property, a giant dollhouse, which gives the audience insight into different rooms – a living room, a kitchen, etc. – but also secret rooms.
The rooms are inhabited by lonely, quirky personalities who are in symbiosis with their surroundings, sometimes in scenic stills and other times in frantic activity. They seem detached from each other, self-sufficient in their own little universe, yet strangely connected. Symphony Of Solitude – S.O.S delves into loneliness, a growing “public disease” in the Nordic region, some even talk about an epidemic of loneliness.
Smoking on stage.
