"It is Midsummer's Eve, and the guests at the camping site are getting ready for the big celebration. From the side comes a young girl, one who everyone wonders who is. And perhaps nobody is just the way prejudice says, when everything comes to an end?
The National Theatre's new Torshov ensemble plunges into Music Lab, an artistic research project investigating musical theatre. They will experiment with music in theatre and theatre in music. And first of all they offer up the dance band Ole Ivars - celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
As with good scientists curiosity is the driving force. What, with Ole Ivars, is it that captures so many? While dance bands are by some perceived as low-brow culture, The National Theatre may give the impression of high-brow culture. Are myths to be busted?
- Ole Ivars is first of all a band spreading genuine joy in music, making people dance. This should be met with sincerity - not irony. At the same time we will bring along the artistic experimentation characterising The Torshov Theatre, actor Bernhard Arnø explains.
He is joined by his actor colleagues Henriette Steenstrup, Christian Skolmen, Lena Kristin Ellingsen and musician Simon Revholt in the project. They all have close relationships to musical theatre. Now they will take an expression usually performed in a large format, down to an intimate setting.
- Whereas the last Torshov ensemble had success with its Comedy Lab project - investigating the outer limits of comedy and using some music - we continue the relay. We examine musical theatre while using some humour, says Arnø."
