With Frankenstein, Veenfabriek breathes new life into Mary Shelley’s famous monster. Inspired by the 1818 Gothic novel, director Joeri Vos creates an inventive horror journey set in our own time. Are we helping to create new monsters? Are we at a tipping point in our creative drive?
The musicians of Veenfabriek draw inspiration from Romantic-era composers, contemporaries of Shelley. Driven by Frankenstein’s creative urge, they attempt to complete Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony once and for all. The music oscillates between industrial horror, synth-pop and ritual ecstasy. Designer John van Oostrum creates the set and builds an impressive musical installation around a dismantled pipe organ. Raw, electrifying and unpredictable, just like the monster itself.
Frankenstein is a monstrous musical theatre production set on the fringes of delusions of grandeur – where ambition turns into recklessness.
