Gilgamesh by Hotel Pro Forma
The tale of Gilgamesh was written in cuneiform writing on clay tablets 4000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh is about king Gilgamesh, tyranny and power, adventure and daring, chaotic love, friendship and great sadness, the quest for immortality and eternal life.
GILGAMESH is the first part of Hotel Pro Forma’s ambitious trilogy about the underworld.
“Inside all of us there is an underworld and a primitive human being. We are not very different at all. We look different, but we are all made up of the same fundamental characteristics such as basic needs, instincts, desires and wishes. These are measured out in different ways and will be fulfilled in different ways in each one of us. The underworld is where we meet Lars von Trier.”
Kirsten Dehlholm, artistic director, Hotel Pro Forma.

I was interning at Hotel Pro Forma at this time. I was assisting the multi talented artist Barbora Skaburskè in making the costumes for the performance.
