Sales of a Deadman

Wonderful Things

Generously supported by the Norwegian Composers’ 

Association and the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler”

Just a suitcase remains for the Salesman. However there’s enough for him to make his last bit of money by rummaging through his stories, relationships, and memories. This one-man free adaptation of Arthur Miller’s play is all about selling, as now death becomes part of the inexorable economic chain. Sales of a deadman picks up from where Miller’s open ending left off; between the suicidal car crash and subsequent funeral, everyone is still out to make money. The music and staging of this production is modelled on the inevitability of pure capitalistic life, a purgatorial marketplace where man has been transformed and purified into a commodity, there to be bought and sold.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
