Mäns Rödskagg

Mäns Rödskägg by Västenå Teater, directed by Leif Stinnerbom: A saga about a boy looking for a post as a trainee, ending in the claws of The Evil personified. One of the many men of The Evil is Mäns Rödskägg, taking upon himself to educate the boy, but instead the boy disappears without trace. The despairing parents sense something wrong and the father embarks on a search for his son.

In Mäns Rödskägg we follow the battle between the boy and The Evil. The winner will be who displays the most ingenuity and strength.

The saga of Mäns Rödskäg was told in the scenic expression having made Västanå Teater sought-after in Sweden and Norway throughout decades. With music, dance, costumes and masks the theatre asked its audience into a magic stage setting, the Yurt, a Mongolian nomad tent in which time and room ceased to exist and the options of the imagination were endless.

Mäns Rödskäg by Västanå Teater was performed during the festival Twist 08, in collaboration between Det Åpne Teater (The Open Theatre), The Norwegian Touring Theatre and Nordic Black Theatre.
