Press coverage

Lillian Bikset, Konsept: Kunstighet (literally: Concept: Artificiality), Dagbladet January 15:

"When The National Theatre now stages The Fussy Man, the constructed is not just embraced. It is cultivated. (...) That Chétouane enters a position of examining the text, should not surprise those who have seen his versions of Shakespeare's Sonnets, Ibsen's A Doll's House and Molière's The Miisanthrope at different The National Theatre venues. The Fussy Man seems far more sinewy, but this is connected to the expression and peculiarities of the material in itself. The production is a theatre project for the particularly interested, but even to the particularly interested it can try the patience. Not just because three and a half hours pass from the start until the end. Far more because it keeps a lethargically slow pace. In particular, the time before the interval can be perceived as exhaustingly slow. The spectator who is to gather anything from the performance needs to accept this. It will take whatever time it takes. Like Vielgeschrey (Henrik Rafaelsen) we need to learn not to stress. Only when one accepts the boredom, one is rewarded with comedy."
