Om forestillingen

In 2013 Kasper Ravnhøj was nominated for a Reumert in the category DANCER OF THE YEAR for his performance in BLACKOUT!. and NAGHOL (2012). 

With BLACKOUT! Mute Comp. completes three years of intense immersion in the criminal economies of the world: sex, weapons and drugs. BLACKOUT! – ABOUT DRUGS AND ESCAPISM is one last major exclamation mark where Mute Comp. turns their attention towards the use of drugs, the temptation and the multifaceted consequences that are related to addiction. 

AN URGE TO DAYDREAM, REPRESS OR DENY REALITY 

BLACKOUT! focuses on the strangeness of human behavior and the dark sides of the human personality as it addresses mankind’s desire to escape reality – the urge to daydream, repress or even deny reality. 

 BLACKOUT! is about not being able to resist, not being able to say no or claim that you don’t want that ticket to utopia. We explore the feeling of being drawn to a rush, while at the same time looking the consequences straight in the eye, in a haze of smoke and steam, blaring noise and blinding light. In the performance, the audience will experience a team of seasoned dancers and a group of terrific musicians who will complete the circle with an intense, insisting and slightly crooked finale to our trilogy about criminal economies.
