Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece of love’s nightmare

Rikard Wolff and Richard Turpin plays for the first time against each other when Emil Graffman sets up Dorian Gray in a new dramatization of three roles made by Lucas Svensson. In the role of Dorian Gray – the object of everyone’s desire – we see Emil Ljungestig. First performance on October 7 at the Cultural City Theatre.
The artist Basil has found the ultimate object to paint: the young, innocent clientele Dorian Gray. Headlong in love Basil begins to paint his life’s masterpiece. His friend the art collector Henry shows up in the studio and get to see the blackboard. When he himself meets the handsome Dorian Gray, he is equally taken as Basil. After changing the lives of everyone. Not least for Dorian himself.
– This is a drama of ideas and a chamber play about aging, longing and the cult of the beautiful. The cult around the eternal youth and beauty is as strong today as then, says director Emil Graffman.
– Dorian is seduced to live by the motto: “You are greater than you think,” “Go beyond all limits,” “Live out everything you have in you,” “Realize yourself”. In this case means Carpe Diem something naughty. We regard the becoming of a beautiful monster, says Emil Graffman.
– Dorian Gray is a literary work that has eternal life. I was hit by Oscar Wilde classics as a teenager and has since returned to it over the years. The mixture of horror romantic thriller, the worship of beauty and youth, and especially the theme of the forbidden love that opportunity and nightmare. A text for all times, all ages, Dorian Gray is constantly looking into new generations of culture, says Rikard Wolff.
