Vacation from Love
CUMA Kollektiv
The concert Vacation from Love reveals a singer’s bittersweet life on the road and the love story with their band. In a mixture of live music, drag performance and dance, social, relational and gender norms are challenged with humour and honesty. The show is wild, disturbing but funny, and reflects on the need to savour life in all its shades, without the limits of social conventions. Elina Brams Ritzau dances, sings and plays the piano, moving smoothly and effortlessly between genres. Bruna Cabral and Jakob Jentgens build a multifaceted sound cosmos using electronic and acoustic drums, vibraphone, guitar, saxophone, bass clarinet and live electronics. The audience is left to experience the struggle, external and internal, of a broken personality.
