The Theater Equation

“In September 2015, over the course of four sold-out shows, Ayreon’s legendary progressive rock concept album ‘The Human Equation’ was brought to life as a full-blown musical production at the Nieuwe Luxor Theater in Rotterdam.”

“This show told the story of a man who – after a mysterious car accident- lies comatose in the hospital. Before the accident he was a powerful businessman, but now he finds himself trapped in the prison of his own mind. Guarding the prison are his emotions, which have taken on vivid personas inside his mind. Fear, Rage, Agony, Love, Passion, Reason and Pride take turns engaging the man in his emotional turmoil as they force him to face up to the demons of his past and the deep truths about who he is and how he’s lived his life.”
