DarkRoom a 7 min. trailer of the first performances at Slagteriet, Holstebro - 2024

DarkRoom is a new site specific opera commissioned by Operaen i Midten for first performances at Slagteriet, the old slaughterhouse turned cultural centre, in Holstebro.
Different stories about inner and outer darkness were collected through a series of interviews - experiences ranging from the throbbing dark rooms in clubs to the introvert work in a photographers dark room, a priest reflecting on exorcism, a trans person describing how she struggled through her inner darkness , and an astrophysicist’s facination of the absolute darkness at the eventual end of the universe.
The performance leads its audience through different scenes set in a variety of spaces. The music is a mix of electro accoustic, live singing and story telling.
