"Falling Apart Together"
is the boldest and most innovative project of Ólafur Arnalds’ career, born from a desire to bridge the distance that separates us. Halfway between a concert and a performance, the show reveals the layers we build to protect ourselves, the moments when these defenses falter, and the shared humanity that emerges when we find the courage to show our vulnerability.
Together with his close-knit group of musicians and collaborators, Arnalds creates an immersive experience that weaves together compositions from his repertoire with new pieces, transcending the boundaries of the traditional concert and redefining its language.
Following the international success of his re:member
and some kind of peace
tours—which sold out legendary venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, the Sydney Opera House, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, captivating hundreds of thousands of audiences worldwide—Ólafur Arnalds returns with his most intimate and visionary work yet.
*Falling Apart Together*
explores what can happen when we allow ourselves to let down our defenses, even if only for a moment, opening ourselves up to one another in a truly shared experience.
