Everything
Everything(1988) by Baktruppen was based on Henrik Ibsen’s Brand (1866). Brand’s conflict was manifested in a 5 1/2 meters tall metal tower. In and near the tower his inhuman yearning for Utopia became obvious. His wish to control the world according to his defined point of view led to a 55 minute long personal and social breakdown.
