Jekyll & Hyde was made in collaboration between Paolo Nani Teater and Nordland Visual Theatre. The production aims to be a liberating theatrical game for everyone.

In this version of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a curious clown by accident finds himself in the laboratory of Dr. Jekyll. The clown is incapable of resisting mixing and tasting the colourful potions, which brings him into a battle with his other self.

Paolo Nani is most known for his productions The Letter and The Art of Dying with which he has toured the world. Jekyll & Hyde and The Letter both have been performed during Stamsund International Theatre Festival.
