På bilden är en grupp med människor, 14 personer, klädda i svart. De står och sitter i olika positioner. Någon ser glad ut, någon ser förvånad ut, någon ser misstänksam ut och någon ser förskräckt ut. Alla tittar rakt in i kameran. På fotografiet har det lagts till illustrationer i klar pink färg. Alla personer har illustrerade pinka kläder eller detaljer på sig, så som hattar, glasögon, solglasögon eller en pipa i mungipan. Bakom människorna finns grafiska element och figurer, som benrangel, en hund och en klocka. På bilden är en grupp med människor, 14 personer, klädda i svart. De står och sitter i olika positioner.

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.

English surtitles are provided via the mobile application Subtitle mobile.
