”What frightens is the expectation of terror”
Film director, Alfred Hitchcock
We’re going for the thrill...
Dansk Rakkerpak pay homage to the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, with a remake of his undisputed masterwork, “Pyscho” from 1960. All, of course, in authentic, non-verbal, Rakkerpak-style with dollops of hilarious slapstick, precise timing, physical humour and musicality – and, of course, with an unsurpassable slow-motion, finale.
The performance will be played in daylight, which naturally forgoes some of the normal characteristics associated with a thriller. Furthermore, the police and children’s rights organisations have demanded that the murderer’s deadly kitchen knife be replaced by a wet fish and the detective’s pistol, by a banana.
Nevertheless, we are obliged to issue the following warning:
“Psycho – Street Cut” is not for the faint-hearted!
”The most respectful way to approach a classic is to attack it disrespectfully!” -Theatre director, Niels Grønne
