much ongoing Allkunstwerkprocesse, Charlotte Engelkes gathers an ensemble of five extraordinary Valkyries and lazy mermaids from the Rhine to examine true sisterhood, incestuous love, giants fights and gods in general. All Is Divine flirts with Wagner’s ‘Twilight of the Gods’, however suggests we are all divine and responsible. Personal and playful the ensemble depicts how the mythological opera world relates to the real one. On stage are Charlotte Engelkes, actor Lindy Larsson, Royal Court Singer Ingrid Tobiasson and the Singapore performers Celine Rosa Tan and Chan Sze Wei along with the astonishing works of visual artist Brian Gothong Tan. The German sound designer Willi Bopp creates a new strong and magic storytelling landscape from Wagner´s original music. All Is Divine premiered in Dansens Hus, Stockholm, in 2013. It is a free and easy sequel to the performances Miss Very Wagner (2006) and Siegfried – the Very Wagner Hero Hour (2011).
