Rehearsals begin for Nobody Meets Anybody

On 1 February the first read-through of the play took place at the Nordic House. Actors María Ellingsen and Björn Ingi Hilmarsson read the sharp text, in which sixteen terse scenes reveal different pictures of a love affair between a man and a woman.

The team is first-rate: Danish director Simon Boberg, who directed the original production in Copenhagen and knows Asmussen’s work inside out; Finnish choreographer Raisa Foster; lighting designer Björn Bergsteinn Guðmundsson; set designer Snorri Freyr Hilmarsson; and Norwegian composer Andreas Ljones. The project is a collaboration with the Nordic House, where Gunn Hernes and Kristbjörg Kona Kristjánsdóttir hold the reins together with Mikkel Harder.
