Reksten and Rosenvinge are beyond their prime, during which they played in famous arenas and celebrated salons all over the world. Now time has moved on without them and no one will any longer hear them play. That is why they have gone out on the road to look for and find their new audience. They play in the street and in backyards, but they have yet to receive anything but boots as a salary or a thank you.

Reksten & Rosenvingeby Teater NOR is filled with acrobatics, gags, juggling and amazing events. All the music is performed live on violin, mandolin, guitar, bass, harmonica, drums and a large, old organ they drag around.

Reksten & Rosenvinge by Teater NOR is inspired by classical silent movie comedy and the legendary musical stunts of the Marx Brothers.

Reksten & Rosenvinge by Teater NOR has been performed more or less all over Norway and has been touring with The Cultural Rucksack.
