Apokalypsen
Apokalypsen is a performance in the form of a major theatre. The audience is employed by Backa Teater during an hour and the task assignment is to take all steps necessary to produce the play “Apokalypsen”, in which the earth downfall takes place. With “better a bit afraid together than worried on one’s own” as a point of departure, the audience and performers work their way trough a first reading of the play and rehearsals to the final performance, and beyond.
The performance was commissioned by Backa Teater. It deals with subjects such as worry and fear for the catastrophe and its target audience is children from ten years.
”When we get to the performance in Poste Restante's awe-inspiring set design, the tension is palpable. We do this with the real earnest of the theatre. The embracing total experience, however, has to step back. My little department ’Physical pain’ has enough to do with what is our responsibility. And A proudly states: ’This is something that I want to do again!’”
-Lis Hellström Sveningson, GP, 2015-03-09
”I don’t know if the idea is pedagogical, psychological or just genial. In “Apokalypsen” Backa Teater let the ten-year-olds themselves give form to the most terrible thing a human being can imagine: the termination of everything.”
