Þriggja rétta (2020)
by Magnús Thorlacius
Directed by Bjartur Örn Bachmann
Trúir þú á homma?
Það á enginn að þurfa að vera saddur eftir að hafa borðað forrétt. Það er líklega það sorglegasta sem ég veit. Að ímynda sér, að vera ekki einu sinni hálfnaður með kvöldverðinn en vera samt orðinn saddur?
Þriggja rétta (Three Course) premiered in Tjarnarbíó as part of the Reykjavík Fringe Festival in July 2020. An overwhelming audience reception demanded it be performed again and as a result, Þriggja rétta was put on stage again after the festival had ended with even better reception and even greater demand for another performance. The piece was devised by the group, inspired by the themes, setting and characters explored in Magnus’ absurd stageplay. The result? A satirical confrontation of the overwhelming truth; that unlike fairies and unicorns, gay people actually exist.
