KING LEARSound Design 2023
Det Ferösche Compagnie’s production of King Lear.

DFC's King Lear is a bold and visionary exploration—an unflinching plunge into the unsettling void of nothingness.

This deeply personal project is led by director Búi Dam and centers on his most cherished artist: his mother, Birita Mohr, a retired actress now living with severe Alzheimer's disease. Her presence infuses the production with both emotional urgency and profound authenticity.

With this staging, DFC presents a work that is at once a powerful homage and a pointed social critique—paying tribute to a remarkable actress while confronting society’s often inadequate treatment of those affected by memory loss.
