Bakkanalen

The Bakkanalen (2008)is a result of the "It doesn't workshop" - a series of performance workshops Baktruppen conducted with students in Norway and the UK. In the workshops, Baktruppen used some of their older productions as starting points for the students work. Seeing this old work made new, often in unexpected ways, was the start of the "Bakkanalen" project.

For the Bakkanalen, 12 participants from the workshops were invited by Baktruppen to spend 11 days working at the Black Box Theatre on a completely new production based upon six of Baktruppen's earlier productions; Germania Tod in Berlin (1989), the adapted Heiner Müller drama. Tonight(1994), a hyper textual lecture on industry, technology, time, memory and financial collapse. When We Dead Awake (1990) - a multi-purpose all-round Ibsen production. Good Good Very Good (1996), cheers to alcohol, the Sami People and the Chinese. Super Per (1994) - highlights from Baktruppen's life as Peer Gynt based on Peer Gynt by Henrik Ibsen. 

Bakkanalen will also include some interventions from the Baktrüppen Light Metal Band Baktruppen's own new production.
