Else Marie Laukvik was born in Oslo in 1944. In 1964, she was among the five young persons accepting to work with the then unknown Eugenio Barba in Oslo. I am now 65 years old, and in a nostalgic flashback I would like to awaken my stage children back to life. The creative force is like a constant child birth, and all the characters I have given life to in the theatre, are my stage children, Else Marie Laukvik says.
