The Rhinestone Cowboy
The Rhinestone Cowboy is a darkly humorous, raw, and emotive one-woman play written and performed by Hjarta, with a diverse multimedia setting by composer and audiovisual artist Harry Bongo.
Based on a true story and written by a real-life mother and son duo, this high-octane production maps a young man’s tumultuous journey from Scotland to Iceland. Pulsating electronic sound design - featuring music from contemporary artists - fused with bold visual projections provide a visceral backdrop to a blistering trip from one emotional landscape to another.
Written as a tribute to Dan The Man, ‘Rhinestone’ celebrates his kaleidoscopic life - whose humour, charm and resilience masked internal demons.
