In Lydvingens lydløse oppdrag* (The Sound Wing’s Soundless Mission) the audience meets superhero and sound expert Lydvingen. Through his many missions he fills the barns with sound, the traffic with noise and the world with laughter.

But one day Lydvingen is assigned a strange mission – a mission totally out of the ordinary. Lyder is a calm man, with a quiet pace, who likes his life to be calm and silent. He is married to Lydia, an energetic woman whose pace is high, who talks too much and too loud. In addition Lyder has a sly neighbour who talks all too high and shows up all too often.

Lyder is the kind of man who needs a little help from the superhero Lydvingen.

Lydvingens lydløse oppdrag was the eleventh production by Theatre Spillebrikkene.

Lydvingens lydløse oppdrag was supported by The Fund for Performing Artists and The Norwegian Actors’ Equity Association’s fund for freelancers.
