The Last Cry Out

A horrifying dance performance for youngsters

Do you dare to enter the darkness, climb the stairs and descend into the celler? What happens when fear is aroused? What is real? What is imaginary? And do you truly know yourself?

A restaurant. The tables are set, the guests are arriving and a beautiful young couple is welcoming you. However, something is wrong. The atmosphere  is dense, you notice an icy glance, a hoarse whisper and an angry movement. Something is hidden, but what? Where is the child? It almost feels like this place is cursed. A handle is pressed down. A room is opening up, leading you into pitch black darkness. Bated breaths, quick steps, muffled screams. Who are the other women? Do they know what has happened? And is this reality, a dream or a nightmare?

Dagmar Overbye – the most terrifying serial killer Denmark has ever known – is the source of inspiration for The Last Cry Out. In the beginning of the 19 century this woman, also known as “The Angel Maker,” murdered more than 20 infants.

Alongside this horrifying story The Last Cry Out is based on the history of Husets Teater, which used to be an eatery before it was transformed into a theatre. During the performance you will be taken upstairs, downstairs and around the building. With limited space and room for only 30 people The Last Cry Out opens the door to an intimate and exclusive world.

The Last Cry Out is a dance performance for young people between 13-19, who in addition to goose bumps and chills will get an opportunity to explore their own fear, be it justified or unfounded. Grown ups are also welcome – if they have the guts!
