Nya Rampen takes hold of the most renowned plays of all time, taking a look at mortal sins trough Shakespeare’s tragedies while wearing panty-hose. What does Nietzsche’s famous quote “God is dead” mean to the modern world that is struggling in a chaos after the humanistic era?
Worship! examines the characteristic human need to believe in and belong to something, be it a religion, an ideology or art. Nya Rampen ponders why fiction such as Shakespeare’s tragedies still reaches audiences. Do we need stories in order to understand reality?
Nya Rampen was founded 12 years ago in Helsinki. The group is led by founding members Elmer Bäck, Rasmus Slätis and Jakob Öhrman together with producer Elin Westerlund. Nya Rampen challenges preconceptions about what theatre should be through seeking new means of expression from other fields of art. Having toured European theatre festivals, the group has achieved international acclaim for their unique and uncompromising expression. Baltic Circle Festival 2010 presented Conte D’Amour, a co-production of Nya Rampen and Swedish theatre group Institutet. The performance won the best off-theatre award at Impulse Theatre Festival in Germany 2011.
