To celebrate one's own inner contradictions
and inconsistencies
To celebrate one's own inner contadictions and inconsistencies is a musical drama built around the guitar piece Kurze Schatten II by English composer Brian Ferneyhough, improvisations by guitarist Magnus Andersson, and a monologue by Lily Toback, interpreted by actor Eli Frankel.
Leo struggles to understand and to fit in. He experiences a kind of constriction and feels that the outside world has an order that is not particularly inclined to see and accept the tensions and contradictions of the inner world. He is a person who, in his own quiet way, tries to take control of his inner space.
The stage version of To celebrate one's own inner contadictions and inconsistencies premiered at Teater Giljotin in Stockholm on May 12, 2023, and has since been performed throughout Sweden. A further developed radio play version of the performance is now premiering.
Premiere 5 of October at Teater Giljotin, Stockholm
