A Fine Mess - Jakop Ahlbom Company & ISH Dance Collective
A young woman, her brother and their mother struggle every day to keep their heads above water. Their mother is ill, the bills are piling up, and creditors and debt collectors are taking away their already meagre possessions. In desperation, they decide to hold up a petrol station. What begins as a small grab from the till soon degenerates into a chain reaction of absurd situations.
In the midst of this chaos, our heroes come face to face with a corrupt sheriff who seems mainly interested in lining her own pockets. As the situation escalates into a whirlwind of pistols and betrayal, they discover that even the most hopeless situation can take an unexpected turn.
And then there’s a mysterious cowboy with a guitar, who sings the events together.
After the success of Knock-Out (2021), Jakop Ahlbom Company and ISH Dance Collective join forces once again for an explosive collaboration. Get ready for a visually spectacular action comedy full of music, slapstick and special effects. For A Fine Mess, Jakop Ahlbom and Marco Gerris draw on, among other things, films by Tarantino, the Coen Brothers and the iconic action films of the ’80s, such as Lethal Weapon and Die Hard.
