We are currently in production of our new show: Nullrikken. On October 6, the show will have its world premiere at the puppetry festival Figur in Fossekleiva! You can find tickets here.
Nullrikken is based on Anne Helgesen's childhood memories of her friendship with a grandfather who was a war sailor. The performance is about how the war continues inside the people affected even after peace has come, and about how this affects entire families for several generations. Still - loyalty, humor and righteous indignation relieve pain.
The production is performed by Anne Helgesen as a mix of narrative theater and games with objects interspersed with furious doses of pulchinella-inspired glove puppetry with the fantasy character Nullrikken.
"Nullrikken" is Anne Helgesen's farewell performance as a puppeteer.
