The Promise - RSO

The Promise (Löftet in Swedish) is the story of Ava who becomes separated from her husband, Teo, in a concentration camp. Determined to be reunited with her husband after the war, she travels through the ruins of a traumatised Europe in search of him. We accompany her on a journey that sways between dream and reality, hope and despair. 27th January is International Holocaust Remembrance Day and Royal Swedish Opera pays tribute to the victims in a new comission from composer Mats Larsson Gothe. The world premiere happens on this day and live on OperaVision. It is a story about the invincible power of love seventy-six years after the liberation of Auschwitz. ‘We find ourselves in a time outside time, as the victims of war take their first uncertain steps towards reclaiming their humanity’, says librettist Susanne Marko, who was inspired by her own family history.

Ravage

This is RAVAGE - Mogli's cinematic album. RAVAGE documents Mogli's journey of self-discovery and healing. It's a body of work that features an illuminating dystopian to utopian transformation, denouncing oppression and embracing the liberation of standing out. "Why do I create? Because I want to conquer fear - my own and everyone elses. I believe that fear is the root of everything bad in the world. Every wrong decision and every war comes down to someone being scared. I‘m trying to be brave by making myself vulnerable. Vulnerability creates empathy and connection and our world needs that. It’s okay to be scared sometimes – we all are. Scared of change, scared of loss. But achieving to be brave anyway was the most rewarding learning of my life. So I invite you on a journey – my journey and yours, from fear to bravery, from prejudice to tolerance - into the world of RAVAGE." - Mogli

Under the Influence

When Casey Neistat first sat down to interview YouTube sensation, David Dobrik, neither of them knew they were about to capture one of the most precipitous rise and falls in the history of the internet... in real-time. David, protected by the belief that he’s just a kid with a camera, has constantly assumed risks. Even as a story of a sexual assault breaks, he’s busy covering up a near-lethal accident caught on film, intended to be entertainment. In the real world, these kinds of actions have life-changing consequences, but in the gold rush ecosystem of Social Media influence, the audience decides who succeeds, and who gets banished forever.
