More

In his research project The Acoustic Act Morten Cranner worked to develop a musical theatre genre in which the actors are musicians within a sound-producing stage design, a stage design doubling as a performance space and musical instrument. The text and actions of the actors are to leave traces in the space and become the music of the performance.

Morten Cranner was nominated for The Hedda Award 2013 in the special artistic achievement category for research in music and sound as fundamental elements for modern theatre in general, and for his contribution to The Odyssey in particular.
