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.

Impressive storytelling

In the monologue performance "1969," Kate Pendry travels through present-day and childhood London, searching for answers and reconciliation. The audience is invited along, but must work to stay connected throughout.

A visual journey through fantasy and reality

Although "The Never-Ending Story" is visually impressive and has several strong scenic moments, there are some weaknesses in the direction and dramaturgy that gave me the feeling that the play really became a "never-ending story", for better or worse, writes Elianne Kvammen.
