Þöglar byltingar
by Magnús Thorlacius
Directed by Magnús Thorlacius
Absurd play about unhappy people reminiscing about their lives on their wedding day. We dive into the silence that characterizes their relationship, while their child tries to enjoy its own innocence. It was selected to be performed as part of Ungleikur at The City Theatre, Reykjavík.
Lungun
by Magnús Thorlacius
Directed by Magnús Thorlacius
Magnus’ update to Lungs by Duncan Macmillan ignores the first lines of instructions given by the playwright; for it to be performed on a bare stage with no costume changes, music, light changes, scenery, props etc. Selected scenes from the play are used to create a visual theatre experience that narrows the original play’s themes into a single question: Should you have a child in the state of climate crisis or not?
