Charles Darwin, but not quite as we know him
DARWINIAN theory and electro-opera are terms that might never have come to share the same sentence. Yet here they are, thanks to the intervention of Danish art collective Hotel Pro Forma. Hotel Pro Forma’s lavish theatre piece Tomorrow, In A Year has been earning plaudits since its 2009 debut.
According to Ralf Richardt Strøbech, co-artistic director with Hotel Pro Forma, the concept behind the show is a simple one. “It’s about revealing the extraordinary beauty that there is in Darwinian thought. That is our very basic ambition,” he says.
