All, or Nothing at All

| Treasure or Trash

The film ALL, OR NOTHING AT ALL starts with an aerial view of Viborg, Denmark, one of the oldest Viking settlements that grew into a medieval city. Viborg looks like an idyllic city, with brick buildings surrounded by water and red-tiled roofs. This soon falls apart into an uncanny, post-apocalyptic diorama in which the urban landscape has been shredded. Seven avatars sing and dance the viewer through the abandoned shopping streets, garages, the old crusader paths and centuries old alleys of Viborg while they sing ‘All, or Nothing at All’, originally sung by Frank Sinatra and re-interpreted by Danish singer Nina Vadshølt. While Sinatra interpreted the song from an utterly male perspective, Nina Vadshølt transformed it into an angelic, rebellious chant. The choreography is based on the musical West Side Story (1961), in which polisch,american and puertorican street gangs fight each other.
