JOHAN PETRI

Electricity is a Force of Nature is an original radio drama written by John Swedenmark for Radioart. It is a piece that can be described as a cantata about the history of electricity and the neo-liberal shift in our contemporary society. It is a story, written in verse, that paints the picture of how a force of nature has been domesticated and exploited. Performed in Swedish by two actors and four musicians.
