The central revue – a Wiener with everything

Young Voices critic Jørgen Cleve Broch and mentor and critic Per Christian Selmer-Anderssen went to the Centralrevyen for the premiere. After the performance, they sat on the outdoor terrace at Fuglen and talked about what they had seen. The sound was poor due to drunk men in the background and poor technique, so here is an edited transcript in text form.

Honest, raw, spit and hysterical laughter

Who has the power to keep a patient in a place they don't want to be? How can words create chaos, confusion and frustration? These are questions that the performance Blue/Orange raises.
