Enginn hittir einhvern (Nobody Meets Anybody) is a powerful, inspired and uncompromising play. Peter Asmussen is an artist of language who takes us on a wonderful and dangerous journey through the wonders of life. In sixteen short scenes that are at once funny, poetic and violent, Asmussen explores the relationship between a man and a woman, using language like a scalpel to dissect deeply complex and important existential questions.
Reviews
„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 thinking about before. The Nordic production of Nobody Meets Anybody is a light in the darkness.“
„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.“
