Pop meets opera and ballet in this sensory theatre piece, which follows five travellers through life's turning points: disappointment, desire, grief and the realisation that growing up means letting a perfect world die. Dance, song and theatre are woven together across three acts covering birth, sexuality and death.
Composer Jeanett Albeck has built a pop bible of well-known hits and newly written songs, performed live by older opera singers and trombonists. Staging is by Anja Behrens, with set design by Christian Albrechtsen, and choreography by Sebastian Kloborg and Oliver Marcus Starpov. The result is neither a conventional ballet, play nor concert, but a blend aimed at both nostalgics and dreamers.
Oliver Marcus Starpov is also performing his piece Har døden taget noget fra dig så giv det tilbage at Husets Teater in November 2026.
