Brighton to host premiere of innovative new theatre form blending drama and electronic music
A groundbreaking psychological thriller called ELEKTRIK: HER RAVING MIND will premiere at Brighton Electric Studios, merging theatrical storytelling with rave culture.
A Bold New Theatre Experience Comes to Brighton
Brighton is about to welcome something truly special: an innovative new theatre form that's set to revolutionise how audiences experience live performance. ELEKTRIK: HER RAVING MIND will premiere at Brighton Electric Studios, bringing together dramatic storytelling and electronic music in a way that's never been done before in our city.
Produced by trēada theatre, Heiko Geritzmann and Sweet Productio, this groundbreaking show takes theatre out of traditional venues and places audiences right in the heart of the action. Rather than sitting in rows facing a stage, you'll stand within the performance space, free to move and respond as the story unfolds around you.
Exploring Challenging Themes Through Sound and Movement
The production adapts a psychological thriller titled HER RAVING MIND, written and performed by Greek-British artist Fenia Gianni. The story follows EL, a woman navigating the aftermath of emotional abuse and trauma inflicted by a controlling mother. It's a journey about reclaiming identity and freedom, told through the lens of the classical Electra myth.
What makes this production truly distinctive is how it weaves together its narrative elements. The dramaturgy incorporates sound, rhythm, movement and light, creating an immersive experience where every element serves the emotional journey. A live electronic score, created especially for the performance, mirrors EL's experiences and psychological state, drawing audiences deeper into her world.
A Creative Powerhouse Behind the Scenes
The creative team brings together some impressive talent. Electronic music artist and DJ Heiko Geritzmann provides the sonic landscape, while Greek songwriter Orfeas Nonis and electronic artist Max Pashm contribute to the innovative soundscape. Together, they've crafted something that blurs the boundaries between theatre, music and immersive experience.
The production's themes of family violence, memory and grief are balanced with British dark humour, creating a performance that's both thought-provoking and engaging.
