The Jazz Togetherness Show av Cosmic Swing Orchestra

Co-presented with Jazzfest
"The Jazz Togetherness Show" is a cross-artistic performance about self-improvement, apocalypse and community, written by Petter Dalane. We follow a charismatic hypnotist who is driven mad by his belief in market forces and self-improvement, before he finally finds both his own and the world's salvation in the musical unity of the big band.

Cosmic Swing Orchestra has been mixing music, satire and performance art since 2018, and The Jazz Togetherness Show is the band's largest production to date.

In a time marked by global crises, climate fear and a constant rush for self-optimization, we are drowning in advice on how to become better, healthier and more successful. Influencers, consumers and technocrats are dancing towards doom in the pursuit of the best version of themselves.

The performance is a satirical and absurd commentary on the culture of life mastery and the contrast between the crises around us and the smooth superficiality of today, and shows how music can be a force in the face of this.
