Las Vegan

When the child sees on TikTok that scientists believe the world will end in 2036, the woman decides to move the whole family to Las Vegas so that the child’s dream of learning mime can come true before it’s too late. In Las Vegas they are gradually drawn into the world of entertainment, as the woman gets involved in aerial gymnastics and the man begins to sing ...

Las Vegan deals with a fractured family - a couple at a crossroads while their child goes through a dark existential crisis and a lonely grandmother who goes on a crusade against the injustices of the world.

This multi-layered production by visual artist and scenographer Ilmur Stefánsdóttir weaves an intense tapestry of visual arts, theatre, music and circus arts. The performance is in Icelandic.
