O'death AKA O'death darker

O'death (2015) was a theatre production by Findlay//Sandsmark in collaboration with Jason Rogenes and Pål Asle Pettersen. The produciton had its world premiere at Tou Scene in Stavanger. The spring of 2020, a new version of the production was made, called o'death (darker). This version was modified to accommodate protection measures against the Corona virus.

Together, Iver Findlay and Marit Sandsmark were responsible for the concept. Findlay was responsible for the direction, Sandsmark for the choreography and performance, whereas Pål Asle Pettersen composed the music and took part as a musician. The sculptures in use were created by Jason Rogenes.

O'death was performed at Black Box Teater during Oslo International Theatre Festival 2015.
