Premiere in a new theatre space

The big day arrived and all the threads came together. It was an amazing feeling to lead the audience into a new theatre space and into Asmussen’s world, and strong, varied reactions were not long in coming.

“An exciting production with a long resonance … The text works like a piece of music with different leitmotifs. Director Simon Boberg’s approach underlines the music in the play. The acting and all the movement are stylised and recall a dance piece in which every gesture and glance is predetermined. The acting is disciplined and underlines the coldness of the text, but beneath it simmer heat, desperation and a longing for connection that moved this reviewer deeply.” – Silja Björk Huldudóttir, Morgunblaðið

“This production about the meeting of a man and a woman is exceptionally well constructed; the bodies speak in effortless patterns of movement. There is a softness over all the precision of the acting … our role is as important as that of the fine actors … I go home with new perspectives on life that I may have shied away from before. The Nordic production of Nobody Meets Anybody is a light in the darkness.” – María Kristjánsdóttir, RÚV
