Pop music is the glue that binds our contemporary western culture, across nationalities, religions, and physical limitations. It is our common reference in our otherwise separate and individual worlds. Through pop music we see our hopes and dreams idealized, we feel uplifted by catchy tunes or recognize our pain expressed in ways that help us to forget. Through pop music we idealize our struggle for success, so that if we fail we at least land amongst the stars. POP! is a ‘Theatre Concert’, a term first coined in 1994, as a Danish concept combining theatre and music into a new artistic expression. POP! takes on the favorite songs from the top of the pop charts to reflect on love and what it means to be human in the modern world. Through quirky compositions and a lot of creative license, we follow two people’s search for meaning and along the way uncover the truth of a generation. POP! performed for the first time at Teaterøen, Copenhagen under the CPH Stage Festival. From there, it toured to WorldFest 2014 in Venice, Florida, USA, where it was awarded a total of 4 awards: “Best Performance Art,” “Outstanding Innovation in Design,” and “Best Musical Performance” for both Emilie Bendix and Rasmus Rhode.
