Following the success of 'Knock-Out' (2021), our makers Jakop Ahlbom Company, ISH Dance Collective and DelaMar Theater join forces once again for an explosive collaboration. Prepare yourself for a visually spectacular action comedy packed with music, slapstick and special effects. For 'A Fine Mess', Jakop Ahlbom and Marco Gerris draw inspiration from films by Tarantino, the Coen Brothers and iconic action films from the 1980s, such as Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. 

In a remote desert town, a young woman, her brother and their mother struggle daily to make ends meet. Their mother is ill, bills are piling up and creditors and collection agencies are seizing their already meager possessions. They become increasingly trapped in a spiral of poverty and despair. In their desperation, they decide to rob a gas station. What starts as a small grab from the till quickly spirals into a chain reaction of absurd situations. 

Amid this chaos, our heroes come face to face with a corrupt sheriff, who seems primarily interested in her own gain. As the situation escalates into a whirlwind of guns and betrayal, they discover that even the most hopeless situation can take an unexpected turn. 

And then there is also a mysterious cowboy with a guitar, who sings the events together.
