Back for their third season in Þjóðleikhúskjallarinn, artist-activist collective R.E.C Arts Reykjavík presents House of Revolution: an inclusive variety show/ “performance party” showcasing the vibrant and diverse communities of professional artists living in Iceland. Experience one-of-a-kind performances, including live music, stand-up comedy, drag, slam poetry, dance, burlesque, storytelling and more; all performed and curated by artists of minority backgrounds and communities.
No show is the same, but each show will touch your hearts and minds, instilling a community where everyone matters. Shows are primarily in English, with other languages spoken as well. All shows are interpreted in Icelandic Sign Language, and with accessibility for all, and every show ends with a dance party! House of Revolution has been a great success and was nominated for a Gríman Award in 2024. Tickets are on a sliding scale for financial accessibility. (We offer “pay what you can” tickets at the door)
Upplýsingar á íslensku
Listamanna- og aktavistahópurinn R.E.C. Arts Reykjavík kynnir annan vetur af „House of Revolution“, í samvinnu við Þjóðleikhús Íslands. Þessar „gjörningaveislur“ sýna gnægð fjölbreyttra atvinnulistafólks sem búa á Íslandi. Komdu og njóttu sannkallaðs menningakokteils sem endurspeglar hina ótal mörgu, fögru óséðu króka og kima íslensks samfélags. Upplifðu einstakan og fjölbreyttan listflutning, þar á meðal má nefna: lifandi tónlist, uppistand, dragsýningar, söngleik, slam-ljóð, danshópa, burlesque, spuna, söguflutning og fleira og fleira; allt er þetta flutt af listfólki af jaðarhópum og samfélögum. Það er engin sýning eins en hver sýning snertir hug og hjörtu, innleiðir samfélag þar sem öll skipta máli. Sýningarnar enda alltaf með danspartý þar sem dj eða hljómsveit mun trylla taktinn. Hlökkum til að sjá þig! Allar sýningar eru túlkaðar á íslensku táknmáli, og með aðgengi fyrir öll. House of Revolution fékk Grímutilnefningu árið 2024 “Hvatningarverðlaun valnefndar fyrir framúrskarandi nýbreytni í sviðslistum.”
