ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

In an old house in Maxglan, the tragic end of a lugubrious family story is made visible. Led by the Erinyes, the goddesses of vengeance in Greek mythology, the visitors follow the footsteps of the dead and realize how a series of persons and events contributed to a catastrophe. Damned within an eternal story, the victims confront their corruptor and commit their crimes countless times, as if they were the echo of a long-ago deed.
The work of the Copenhagen-based performance collective SIGNA cannot be categorized, as it combines a varied spectrum of art forms. The basic concept of its productions, however, is based on installations. SIGNA works venue-specifically and adapts to the space in question, redefining abandoned, empty buildings and areas and transforming them into theatrical spaces outside of any time-frame, into an artificial world which the audience inhabits and explores.
