Performance Space 122 will present the New York Premiere of Verdensteatret's Louder from September 25th-29th

For their new production, Louder, Verdensteatret went on a long journey to Vietnam and the Mekong-river. By combining robotics, video, sound, music, shadow play, object theatre and new technology, the performance takes the audience on a journey where reason ends and the spectator is drawn into an endless transformation through crossing lines of images and stories. Norway's Bessie-winning Verdensteatret is one of the most innovative and experimental companies in Norway. Their experimental use of audiovisual technology in a close dialogue with more traditional and historic tools of artistic expression results in complex orchestral works and space-related musical compositions. Verdensteatret is supported by Arts Council Norway and the Consul General of Norway Sept 25-28th, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7.30pm, Sunday at 5pm Tickets from $25, $15 (students/seniors), $10 (P.S. 122 members) Performance Space 122, 150 First Ave. at E. 9th St.
