Through secret desire, a couple is led to sexual escapades.
The married couple, Frida and Albert, feels like their relationship is stalled in sexual rutines and is about to die. After an arousing masquerade ball, where they both flirt with others, Frida confides her husband that she longs for an affair. As audience, you are, together with the couple, send on an odyssé into a nightly orgy of erotic excesses. The escapades lead to the limit of the night and the city, the sexuality and the consciousness. To one point where the masks fall and desire is diluted by death.

Arthur Schnitzlers Traumnovelle, in English A Dream Novel, is from 1926 and takes place in the modern and decadent Vienna. The history formed Stanley Kubrichs movie Eyes Wide Shut (1999) with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in the leading roles. Artist, Nathalie Mellbye, is in charge of scenography and staging, while the award winning writer and dramaturg, Bjørn Rasmussen, dramatises this modern version of the ritual ball of the flesh and desire at the edge of the abyss. The music group, SOLEN ER SEXET, which among others consists of Bjørn Rasmussen og Lise Westzynthius, is in charge of the musical universe. The music group, who did their record debut in 2022, has a wish to break with stereotypical gender norms and go against a nature-erotic collectivism.

You can look forward to a pounding journey into the temple of sinners. Accompanied by three actors from Aarhus Theatre in a sensuous interplay with dancers from the internationally acknowledged Holstebro Dance Company.
