Rebel Angels

What we expect:

"The first thing we thought is that the people who are going to play the part are trying to find out what is right and what is not right by us/them being inside a simulator. Maybe they're trying to figure out who they are or how they should behave towards others.

Seems like in the description they're pretty tough, so if someone tries to ruin them they do something mean back. But maybe they're actually kind or become kind towards the end.

What the theme is:

The theme was that you should say what's on your mind and what's on your heart.

What do we think after the play:

We think that it wasn't what we thought it was going to be about and that they had the play in a different way than a normal play is.

We interviewed one of the actors named Victoria Røising.

What is it like to play in Rebel Angels?

It's actually incredibly embarrassing, but fun. We do everything ourselves, both the music and the script. So often we end up creating shows that work in our favor and create roles that suit us. This show we did the opposite. So we came up with all the things that we don't like to do or see in a performance.

What are you trying to get across in this piece?

As we say in the show, we made a list of causes and things we care about that we want to present to people. We want people to talk to us about what they care about most.

How long did you spend on this performance?

In a way, we've spent 2 years because that's when we started with the first Rebel angels. But this one has taken us 3-4 weeks to complete. But even though the show is new, they all have the same theme.

When did you decide that performance was what you wanted to work with?

I think both Nikoline and I have liked it since we were kids and we've both been involved in youth theater in our own places, but when we went to the Academy of Performing Arts we got to know each other and were given an assignment to create shows together and we found that we liked working with each other. We've been working together ever since.

What made you choose that particular theme?

It started with us wanting to create a kind of rebel army with the audience and held some workshops.

Do you receive feedback? If so, what kind of feedback do you get?

"We've only done this particular show once before, and the feedback from newspapers and websites says a lot about how we make theater in a different way. Like the fact that we run all the technical stuff on stage and that it's quite strange, but also good because they feel that they can think out loud with us. We also want everyone to have an "aha" experience and see that theater can also be this way.

What do you expect the audience to think after the performance?

This is a performance with a clear purpose, and we make no secret of that either. We also hope that they might learn to say when something is unfair.

We got a program that said what it was about and then it said "What is right and wrong":

Yes, it's that we can have our own opinion about what's right and wrong and create our own "index finger". We can decide when to show it, in a way.
