Lost Angels English

«Playful angels» was the heading in the excellent review of LOST ANGELS premiere in November 2010. It got 5 out 6 possible points and was described as «cheerful, for the senses and an aestethically wonderful experience». (Fredrikstad Blad, Norway)

Studium Actoris 20th anniversary performance ”Lost Angels” was inspired by Wim Wenders film classic ”Wings of desire”. Then it took it´s own turn and found it’s place in the universe of Studium Actoris. Lost Angels is currently booking Denmark, Italy and Sweden for 2011-2012. This summer it will play Porsgrunn International Theatre Festival 25-26th of June.

In Lost Angels you first meet an angel, humble and relatively unconcerned. He watches human life on earth with wonder and fascination. One day a seemingly cheerful and a bit tipsy woman catches his eye. But something isn’t quite right. She freshens up her make up and seems prepared for something…suddenly we see the gun in her hand. The angel wants to intervene, he wants to stop her - then the gun goes off, by mistake. Angels have the light and spiritual life in an eternal non-existence. No worries, no risk taking. But where angels and man meet the impossible, the unexpected, the wonderful and the horrific happens. Whereas Wenders ended up cutting some of the humoristic displays of the angels, Studium Actoris make them come alive and present their own interpretation. They take it a step further – into their own peculiar and unpredictable universe.

Lost Angels take you on an emotional roller coaster and presents you with the emotional range from love to sorrow, life to death, and crying to laughter. Life isn´t always pretty – not even for an angel.
