Through the Valley

Production by Teddy's Last Ride

Through The Valley by Teddy`s Last Ride is a collaboration project with students from Minerva Art Academy.  Through The Valley won the price for best performance on Spr!tzl Festival 2018 in July in Amsterdam.

​

Through the Valley is a piece that was born as an investigation about morality and, more broadly, as a reflection on the concepts of right, wrong and individual truth. In order to develop the concept director Manuel Paolini did research on transgenderism, drug addiction and pedophilia for a year. It’s the first theater piece fully made from and for Teddy’s Last Ride as an independent company/collective. It’s a combination of dance, live singing, video projections, text and original music composition. In its form it was conceived to be a mash up and coexistence between abstraction/ evocative images and elements from the pop culture.  Let’s call it a socially involved dark fairy tale about morality. ( text by Teddy`s Last Ride)
