SCENOGRAPHY & COSTUME DESIGN BY JOHANNA MÅRTENSSON

STAGE

Riksteatern, 2012

(The National touring theatre)

DIRECTOR

Maja Salomonsson

LIGHT

Mattias Franzon

COMPOSER

Magnus Larsson

MAKE UP

Eva Rizell

Based on a true story of a teenage boy who escapes his everyday life through creating a parallel reality, with many alter egos, on the internet. The stage design portrays the boy’s physical solitude in a room designed as a laptop. The computer gives his fantasy life. The webcam, which reflects the audience as chat-members, is the constant observer. His double life in cyberspace is depicted through an intricate interplay between the actors, audience and projections.

REVIEWS

Han har mycket god hjälp av Maja Salomonssons skarpa regi och Johanna Mårtenssons medspelande scenografi. Väggen i Johnnys rum blir också nätet, där ordväxlingarna projiceras och speglingar av publiken blir som inloggade i spelet. I takt med att Johnny förlorar verklighetskontakten vrids väggen, faller framåt, rasar. Känslor och stämningar förstärks genom bildflöden av hormonregn, rosor och moln av bokstäver eller genom accentuerade ljudbilder och hetsande musikslingor. Uppsättningen kombinerar en känsla av absolut autenticitet och starkt formspråk.

English
He has very good help from Maja Solomonson´s sharp direction and Johanna Mårtensson interacting scenography. The wall in Johnny's room is the internet , where the altercation are projected and the audience becomes logged in the game . As Johnny loses contact with reality the wall turns, falls forward, rages . Emotions and moods are amplified through image flows of hormone rain, roses and clouds of letters or accented sounds and heady music loops. The set combines a feeling of absolute authenticity and strong design.
Det katastrofala förloppet förstärks av Johanna Mårtenssons smart medagerande scenografi, storebror webbkameran kommer ingen undan. Vi i publiken syns till och med själva på fondens skärm.
