Mannen som tok feil* (The Man Who Was Wrong)

Mannen som tok feil* (The Man Who Was Wrong) is a wild love story by Rasmus Jørgensen. Jørgensen is the only performer onstage in this absurd story about a man and a woman, a man and God. It is about faith. Is he loved? It is about doubt. Is he worth loving?

The performance is part musical theatre and part performance art, with broken-down pop gems, spastic choreography and a loaded use of household items.

Press coverage

"When God, symbolised by a yellow plastic glove for doing the dishes stretches a finger down to Petter, the plastic glove is at least worth believing in. Jørgensen without effort transforms pears to pets and a pearl necklace to the ex-girlfriend held in a spiritual iron hold."
