Get excited or let yourself be swept away by The Barrison Sisters in an unforgettable and endless celebration. Join Lona, Gertrud, Inger, Olga and Sophie on stage and behind the scenes as they travel across Europe with their sensational show, which stirs the imagination, raising the pulse with a mix of scandal and delight.
On the cusp of the twentieth century, the Danish sisters have the whole of Europe at their feet. With daring dance and suggestive songs, the sisters fan the flames of the bourgeoisie’s hidden desires and toy with the boundaries of society’s gender and sexual morals. At the same time, their women’s liberation sets the world alight and sends the minds of conservative defenders of traditional values into a frenzy.
The Barrison Sisters are constantly on the move to new destinations, led by their sensation-seeking impresario, the anarchist William Fleron. In their wake, they leave a trail of rumours, court cases, jealousy and suicide. Fleron and Lona exploit the scandal for publicity, and the sisters both scandalise and seduce, whilst audiences, hysterical with excitement, flock to the theatres to witness the embodiment of the entertainment industry: The Barrison Sisters.
Line Mørkeby’s musical is loosely based on the true story of the Danish girl group. The theatre’s resident director, Thomas Bendixen, once again stages a macabre, humorous and thoroughly musical production featuring booze, sweat and garters.
