Hedda Gabler = Art ♡

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.

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

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.
