SADLAND
Sadland is an electronic musical, an emotional space where feelings of emptiness, bad nerves, anxiety, depression and the feeling of having lost something become the narrative.
In the performance SADLAND, we look at the world through sad culture. We look at our time from the horizon of the sad and depressed and creates a collective condition that acts as a resistance to today's neoliberal projects - where each individual is responsible for it´s own happiness and success.
We hope that this mourning song- performance will be a consolation in our desolate and capitalist world.

ROSEMARYS BABY SHOWER
Rosemary's Babyshower is a philosophical show about carrying and giving birth. About being two bodies in one, to be one and the same organism. To be the venue for the past and the future. To exist in a gap, a parenthesis. To be the center of the world.
Rosemary's Baby Shows is a flirtation with the horror genre and a longing away from the explanatory. With dreams of animal births, highly pregnant philosophers and a maternity band, Rosemary's Babyshower takes you through the whole experience of this strange condition.

SOUNDTRACK from BRÅK
BAYWATCH
BAYWATCH takes place in two lifeguard chairs with the audience placed around in sun loungers. Two actors borrow Mitch and CJ´'s (the old 90s TV series' main characters) names, costumes and character gallery and talk for two hours about the trials of life, gossip, philosophical reflections and everyday events. At the same time, there is a constant threat and it is hot as in July.
The performance is completely improvised and is based on a long work in which the actors examined the poetic potential of everyday conversation and what it means to get to know each other in depth. BAYWATCH is a deeply personal and unfiltered conversation where the audience gets a chance to eavesdrop.
