Scars and bruises everywhere – We have landed in Stockholm with big smiles after a fantastic month on tour with GLITCH in Danmark. 3 tons of equipment is now safely back at the headquarters and the truck is returned. Drive-rig-play-strike-drive in 12 hour work shifts 26 days non stop is over and even though it is real good to be back home the longing for new tours is already here. The feeling that the message/story really reaches a wide audience and truly pierces through makes all the hard work fun and (somewhat) easy. The laughter, tears and people that lingers in the theatre when the show is over. All that gives us just as much (or even more) strength than all the applauds, sold out rooms and standing ovations. We want to play more, longer and bigger. GLITCH is ready for the world!

A big thanks to all the theaters with crew, technicians, stagehands, sales and more. A just as big thank you to our own team Per Samuelsson, Marcus Björn and also our new co workers Anthony Cooks and Toubab Holmes for an amazing job! A great troop of unstoppable problem solvers that we could not have been without. And without our director  Stephen Rappaport this show would never have been born at all, and never become close to the unique, creative and wild playground it really is. THANK YOU!

A big thanks also to SUBTOPIA and AUTOPISTES for all the support to get this tour up and running! And maybe most of all a huge thank you to Wolfgang Hoffman and Belinda Murphy at AURORA NOVA for making this tour happen and for not giving up making it possible even at times when it looked like game over. TRUE HEROES!

Last but not least a massive THANK YOU to all the audiences that has made sure to fill the theatres to the last seats and has been there to lift the ceiling with us – Night after night!

Autumn tour in Denmark!

This is Johan Welltons most advanced and lavish production ever. With special effects, natural phenomenon and the art of engineering he shoots out for a new and unexplored adventure. All inventiveness and experimental curiosity becomes the framework for a story about our dreams, hope and despair.

This is the third tour with GLITCH and it is the first official tour where the show will be performed in English.

“…An experience I do not want to be without.”
“…that will without doubt take Johan Wellton to the really big theatres. Do not miss it, whatever you do.”

“It is totally sensational, mind blowing, and somehow, also really disturbing.”
“Johan Wellton takes all the yellow balls, axes and light bulbs to completely new levels.”
“If you wish to see something you have never seen before, this is your chance. I have never seen anything like it”

The spring tour had its final with three performances in Hangaren Subtopia, just outside Stockholm. Filled to the rim with extra chairs put in and standing ovations every night.

As if that was not enough we just just got the report on what people thought of the performance in the questionnaire they fill out on their way out of the theatre. All top ratings! One 4 out of 5, and the other 99% gave the performance 5 out of 5. That must be some kind of statistical record?! With such a radically different and anarchistic performance that GLITCH really is we were surprised to receive such a massive unison YES from such a mixed audience. (Perhaps it IS possible to win them all….?!) We are deeply grateful and happy that people open up and take in the performance like they do, that they laugh and cry and lose themselves into our world. It is an overwhelming feeling to see three years of preparations and experimenting land this well!

A few excerpts from the audience questionnaires:
“Best in the world!”
“Genius”
“I want to see it again!”
“Super!”
“I am touched! <3”
“Fantastic”
“It was like a movie, this should be filmed!”
“So entertaining!”
“Unbelievable!!! <3”
“Fantastic, the best I have ever seen in my whole life! Thank you”

GLITCH is now back in the storage room and it is time to find economical support and theaters for future touring – not the easiest task for a small producer with a big vision..! Once again seeing that the audience IS ready and proving once more that it IS possible to blend fine arts and pure entertainment into one makes us want to pursue making this dream a reality. Join the revolution!
