Step right into the engine room as a dream team of actors roll up their sleeves in search of the very soul of theatre.
A theatrical production by Staffan Valdemar Holm with texts by Euripides, Shakespeare, Molière, Ibsen, Strindberg, Norén and others.
At its most powerful, theatre is a living engine of illusion. Born some 2,500 years ago in ancient Greece, it has been shaped and reshaped by artists such as Shakespeare, Molière, Strindberg and Norén. Yet the mystery endures: what is theatre truly capable of – and where might it lead us next?
These questions move to the forefront as Karen-Lise Mynster, Stina Ekblad, Tammi Øst, Jens Albinus, and Olaf Johannessen join forces in a search for theatre’s innermost pulse. The performance unfolds as a spirited tribute to the actor’s craft, interweaving dramatic, poetic and comic texts from across time. One by one, figures such as Hamlet, Prospero, Macbeth, Miss Julie, Nora, the butler James and Miss Sophie step into the light, determined to make us laugh and grieve, applaud – and perhaps even dare to boo.
Before the director Staffan Valdemar Holm ends his career, it is his deepest wish finally to understand the question about actors that even Ingmar Bergman never found an answer to: How do they do it?
Together with set designer Bente Lykke Møller, he pares the stage back to its essence, shaping an almost bare theatrical landscape where illusion rests solely in the hands of the actors and the power of the text.
