Livsfarligt på allvar!
– a hard-to-interpret murder mystery
The performance Livsfarligt på allvar! is dangerous. Seriously.
Two siblings have recently lost their parents and now it’s time to open the will. This quickly degenerates into a mindless tangle of misunderstandings and confusion, and before we know it, we find ourselves in the middle of a murder mystery.
Yes, you read that right. A murder mystery.
The clock is ticking and the suspense is building. Who is the culprit? What is the real truth? Whose interpretation should we believe? And what will it take for us to understand each other? Nothing is what it seems to be and soon – very soon – it’s too late to go back…
Dear audience, hold onto your hats and don’t forget to breathe. It’s only theatre after all. But dangerous theatre. Seriously!
The newly written play Livsfarligt på allvar! is a collaboration between DuvTeatern, Uniarts Helsinki's Theatre Academy, Acting in Swedish (TeaK) and Svenska Teatern. A student from Aalto University also participates in the production.
The performance explores creative accessibility and how sign language, audio description and accessible language can be integrated into the artistic entirety. Creative accessibility has been researched within the framework of DuvTeatern’s project TIKSI – Accessibility as an artistic strategy and inspiration.
Premiere on 10 October at Svenska Teatern’s AMOS stage.
