The Show Must Go ON!

PART OF DET FRIE FELTS FESTIVAL

 

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

In the performing arts, you can never be sick, can you?” asks Helene Kvint in The Show Must Go On!

In this performance, a female actor’s personal #metoo experience is framed in the form of a tempestuous, funny and touching stand-up show. The sexist and unfair working conditions in the performing arts industry have left their mark on her body, until one day it dramatically says no. This is followed by a course of illness which means, despite numerous hospital admissions, that she completes the premiere and the entire period of the show she is in, but with a constant fear of passing out on stage! The performance is based on personal experience from the performing arts industry, but it is a story about situations that most people can recognise, regardless of which industry they work in. The work asks how, as an actor – and particularly as a woman – you can ignore illness and severe pain, because the show must go on!

PLEASE NOTE: The performance will be in Danish.

There will be a 15-minute artist talk on stage after the performance.
