À propos de cet événement
Harold and Armando are Dead! will premiere at Gothenburg Fringe Festival 2026!
-----
What is 'fun' about making art? What is fun? Where is fun? Why is fun, fun? Does art make fun, fun? Does fun make art fun? Gosh, the word has lost all meaning.
Harold and Armando are Dead! is a play inspired by the philosophical tragicomedy of Tom Stoppard’s absurdist classic, 'Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead'. This 3-actor, 1-hour staged performance explores the human need to create art, starting from the arena of improvisational comedy but quickly flinging itself widely into the world of creativity and art production, asking questions that have, perhaps, too many answers to be any fun to deal with at all.
Harold and Armando are two improvisation actors who are waiting for their chance to get back on stage, passing the time in a purgatorial backstage by questioning the reality of fiction: Who decides what makes art artistic? Why do we continue to create in the face of a world that both loves and dismisses entertainment in the same breath? Will Harold and Armando ever shut up and just get back to their improv show? Like, honestly, the audience is still out there waiting.
Often silly, sometimes deep, and occasionally existential, Harold and Armando are Dead! is a comedic meditation on the nature of improvisational creativity that itself is, of course, completely scripted.
Fun, right?
