Have you ever wondered what's going on inside your elbow? Revolution in the Elbow of Ragnar Agnarsson Furniture Painter answers this hypothetical, surreal question in an emotionally charged rock musical love story. Set in Elbowville (a microscopic community within Ragnar Agnarsson's body), this highly unconventional musical introduces us to a love triangle developing against the backdrop of the once-idyllic community's false prosperity at the hands of a power-mad mayor and its ultimate ruin, tragedy and rebirth.
