WORLD PREMIERE: LAUGHTER IN THE DARK / HOTEL PRO FORMA, MUSIC BY NILS FRAHM, COSTUMES BY HENRIK VIBSKOV

Once upon a time there lived in Berlin, Germany, 
a man called Albinus. He was rich, respectable, happy; one day 
he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress; he loved; 
was not loved; and his life ended in disaster.

Thus begins Vladimir 
Nabokov’s novel Laughter in the Dark: a grusome yet brilliant story 
of Albinus. A man who is seduced by his own desire for a young 
girl and leaves his wife and child. He later loses his sight and 
deceived by his young lover and best friend. It is a tale of human 
nature: hate, desire, evil and helplessness.

This classic story 
is told through a series of visual and audio effects. The audience 
experiences how their own senses are influenced and 
challenged in combination with the main characters’.

  2. I love online dating, I think this is the best way to meet girls, I tried a huge bunch of site https://best-ukrainian-brides.com/russian/ , but all the girls were not very good there, and then I found the very site that helped me find that very only girl, and with the advent of quarantine, they began to communicate in twice more, tomorrow I will teach rafting and fly to her
