Like a ghost haunting Palestine

The Ghost in the Shell is an important play about two countries in a seemingly eternal conflict, disguised as a family drama.

A breathing space

The Turn of The Screw at the Norwegian Opera manages to bring out the disturbing atmosphere found in the over a hundred-year-old short story, as well as give it a fresh breath of topicality.

Beautiful but confusing

"The Knife in the Fire" at the National Theatre offers a beautiful visual depiction of Kven culture and a life on a journey through the North Sea. The forces of nature and people are set in motion on stage, but are dampened by a heavy, literary stage text and poor timing.

Far away, but too close

Gaia Prestø Nielsen (18) likes the moves made with Les Miserables at the Norwegian Theatre. However, she is not taken aback.

A story we need to hear: When death becomes everyday life

Tobasi played with humor, sadness, and rage, and you were drawn into the story as he told it so vividly. The seriousness of the situation became clear, and you started to ask the question "what could they have done today if they hadn't lived under such circumstances?"

Exciting story and very coolly performed

Apart from the screens on the floor, the classroom looks like a normal classroom. The narrators are wearing everyday clothes and two of them are sitting among us at the desks. The fact that the performance takes place in a normal classroom makes the whole story seem much more real and realistic.

50 minutes too much

I think the dancers were good. They had clear and precise movements, but that doesn't give me anything.

Forget the script: When kebab talk saved the theater

The performance makes me reflect on how clear and important the face is when talking to someone, what prejudice can do to a conversation, and how the fact that no one sees you affects what you share and what you don't.
