To Damaskus

- based on Strindberg’s original about spiritual enlightenment

The title of the play refers to Paul the Apostle’s conversion on the road to Damascus, and in this production, we send Strindberg’s protagonist, the Stranger, on a spiritual journey through a hallucinatory soulscape, where the air grows thick and brews up a fateful concoction of Catholicism, the Occult, Norse Mythology, and (Neo-) Freudianism.

An absurd and surreal pilgrimage from a street corner to the lunatic asylum and back.

Created and performed by:
Catarina A, Atli B, Julius C, Sofia G, Roosa H, Jón V I, Johanna N, Mimma M, Fanny P, Cassandra W S, Patrick T, Noora V (full names)

Directed by Lars Henning
