Ibsen Impro

We in ’TheatreSport Oslo’ are a comedy/improvisation group that’s been going since 1993 under the artistic leadership of Tony Totino. Over the later years we have worked much with improvisation over Ibsen’s works.

Guest Production

Directed by Tony Totino / Oslo Teatersport

OK, we haven’t done MUCH work, but some. Or more precisely: little. Nevertheless: this evening Teatersport Oslo will improvise with Ibsen’s lines as the starting point, with characters, and stage directions with the use of retrospective methods and concrete symbolism. People seem to think that we who work with humour know nothing about things like retrospective methods and concrete symbolism. But we do actually. There is in fact a LOT of hard work behind making people laugh. OK, not a lot, then. But some. Anyway, Teatersport Oslo invites everybody, also those without a thorough knowledge of Ibsen’s life and works, to an entertaining and absurd evening with Ibsen Impro.

With Harald Eia, Thorbjørn Harr, Helen Vikstvedt and Jan Paul Brekke.
