To Kingdom Come

‘As the curtain lifts on ‘To Kingdom Come’  there is an unshakeable sense something transpired. An event that connects the twelve performers in their memory and make up. This setting shines a light on these situations and relationships, as the work is held and taken hold by their personal experiences within, their stories slowly laid bare. From mother to child, from lover to stranger. A generation sharing an experience, exposing the deeper layers and complexity of humanity and its enduring survival. By using a landscape as a metaphor for both our internal world and external triggers that lie beyond, the work hopes to explore how trauma can take hold in different ways, showing its potential reach and the moment our masks are put to rest. Where beauty can be born in the worst of circumstances, with a spark of hope that enables compassion and empathy to oneself and the other. How when everything is burned to the ground, do we choose to rebuild ourselves?’

To Kingdom Come is being created in close collaboration with the artist of GoteborgOperans Danskompani and will be performed in Gothenburg, Sweden in the program ‘Touched’.
