«In order to give life back its magic, we need better tricks.» This statement forms a leitmotif which runs through Jakop Ahlbom’s fantastic piece «Vielfalt» – a perfect combination of acrobatics, dance, music, theatre and magic. A flamboyant magician and his alter ego, an ordinary, rather mousy individual, are caught between illusion and disillusion and compete with each other for life and love. The successfull Dutch/Swedish theatre maker Jakop Ahlbom creates in his play a surreal world where the impossible unbelievably becomes true. (kdi)
