Overview

The Madsen brothers' critically acclaimed, festive, and musical Dommedagsshow (Doomsday Show) is about disasters, Kamchatka crabs, and the darkest corners of the mind. The starting point is, of course, scientific, and there is naturally plenty of wonderful music and fun to soften the worst passages. And most importantly of all: it all ends happily. In addition to appearing on stage themselves, Peter Lund Madsen and Anders Lund Madsen have written the lyrics for Enden er nær (The End is Near), and they are accompanied by Strygerkvartet i guld, the international mime troupe Das Fleischkvartet des Bielefelds, and Denmark's best singers, Martin Ullits Dahl and Billie Koppel. Maria Vinterberg directed, and the set design is by Marianne Nilsson. The music was composed by Teitur and Bent Fabricius-Bjerre.
