Theatre of glowing darkness is the title of Roepstorff's theatre production, which is central to the exhibition; its values underpin the entire show, which is a fully immersive environmental experience that explores darkness as a condition of healing and reconciliation, an integral part of the natural cycle of death and rebirth. In Roepstorff's mystical darkness, form dissolves, unity is restored, and we become empowered to dream.
