We really got a taste for Fredrik Brattberg's quirky way of writing and his oblique view of the world! This will be the autumn's second figure theater performance for adults and we are fielding a very strong team both in front of and behind the stage! We are well underway with rehearsals and are very much looking forward to the PREMIERE of this piece on 13 January 2023 in Tønsberg Cathedral. You can also experience both of the two Brattberg performances; "Virus - a fugue" and "Jesus' resurrection and death" on the same evening. Check out the schedule to the right!

Jesus' resurrection and death
Jesus is already crucified, dead and buried. The Roman governor Pilate thinks he is rid of the problem with this instigator and with his own sense of guilt. But Jesus rises from the grave and is brought before Pilate again and again. Why on earth doesn't he die? The people around Jesus try to do the right thing, but they are drawn into an eternally repeated suffering. With his sense of how the seemingly innocent repetitions change our myths, Fredrik Brattberg twists the church's most sacred history in both a comical and undeniable direction. Suddenly there is room for both believers and non-believers and for those who do not know what to believe. The good and the bad, the pious and the vulgar, all find a task in the dramatic story that unfolds around "Jesus' resurrection and death". A thought-provoking, dramatic and humorous play that challenges the well-known story from the Bible and brings it into our time.
