Alt for Vitenskapen

The story of Kristian Birkeland

This is the theater production about the brilliant scientist who made the industrial adventure Norsk Hydro possible, but who was almost forgotten after his death. Not many people know about the exciting and colorful drama and his tragic fate.

We take the audience on a journey from a mountain top in Finnmark, via the University of Oslo and a factory hall in Notodden to the desert in Egypt. We are drawn into the action and get close to Birkeland's groundbreaking experiments.

"The unusual events in this story actually took place, and the people depicted actually lived," writes biographer Lucy Jago.
