FLYING PIGS

FREDERIKSBERGSCENEN, NØRREBRO THEATER 2012

JOMFRU ANE THEATER 2010, THEATER GROB, 2012

INDEX: A both funny and complex notion of man’s eternal need to put things in larger contexts; told with live technology, video and animations through the past, present and future.

An entertaining and relevant performance about man’s eternal urge to grasp and understand all kinds of phenomena

THE STORY OF EVERYTHING is something as ambitious as a monologue that will tell the story of EVERYTHING. Nothing less! A tribute to those who have helped to gather all the knowledge we had no idea existed, and which we may not even know if we will ever need.

Wanting to know everything naturally contains a built-in impossibility. Understanding and concluding on the world’s infinite information is precisely about “calculating” and “adding up” and thus about throwing information away in favor of a holistic experience. THE STORY OF EVERYTHING is therefore also the story of failing, of not being able to understand and contain the whole world, and of those who can content themselves with embracing it all in a single idea – or in a kiss.

Flying Pigs mixes technique, poetry, animations, video.
