ON TOUR
The performance delves into the physical routine of the greatest game on earth and elevates the aesthetic aspects of its insanity. It comments the artificial conflict between the "common sports" and the "eloquent arts" as well as the pride and prejudice surrounding the concept of working-class football and upper-class ballet.
ON TOUR
In a remote valley, three nuns are serving time in a small convent. Their spirit is about to reach rock bottom. Lack of signs from above is not making it easy. Nor is the lack of bread and water. Keeping track of the holy truth is a hard assignment – and even harder when you are hungry.
ON TOUR

Two neighbours.
A lonely pianist on one side of the wall.
A couple with domestic problems on the other.
They can hear each other.
THE NEIGHBOUR is a film about man and woman, about single people, about the chance to start over again, about chances that are long gone. It is also a film about how music affects us, and how we affect music.
ON TOUR
Four patriotic women have joined a secret experiment as volunteers. Even though the laboratory is warm and cozy, and at times filled with nice music, there is a growing concern - something is not quite right. Actually, something must be completely wrong.
A piece about love, friendship and communication. A story about two friends who meet; one of them has recently met a woman, the other has just been abandoned. It turns out, of course to be the same woman. And the masculine mystery is no longer so mysterious. The initial production of the company, produced on a shoestring but with buckets of charm.
Two friends are stuck in a dirty shed somewhere far away from home. They have been hiding from the police for ten long years, refusing to acknowledge the crime they once committed. Mental malfunctions and signs of fatigue are however starting to appear. Time has come for them confess, admit, and repent their actions. Overdue, yes, but also too late?
Three paralyzed parachutists descend into a desert landscape. Suffering from amnesia and urban confusion they try to create a logic in their new situation. How did they get there? And why? And what about that Biblical bush appearing? The quest for a purpose gets even more complicated with the arrival of a woman. And later presumably a local arab.
An orphan baby ends up in the hands of an engineer team specialized in academic education. We follow him from infancy through different stages of educational process, until laboratory exodus into society as a seemingly successful grown-up. The result proves to be highly uncertain. Science may not match reality. Or the other way round.
Four dissidents from the former Soviet Union are stranded in the interzonal area between East and West. Nostalgia, psychological malfunctions, and desperate social needs create a far from harmonious atmosphere. But the essential question remains - should they continue towards the unknown or should they go back to what they know?
Contemporary composer Walter Hölle is staying in the house of Vesna and Milan to finish his Kopfschmerz-sonata. But just the sight of the piano gives him panic attacks. The daughter of the house, Jelena, tries to inspire him. The tide turns only when the stranger Harald unexpectedly arrives from Turkey with some unbelievable news concerning Walter's past.
A green emerald in the eternally blue Atlantic Sea, a pocketful of mysterious cliffs and juicy grass slopes with bearded locals and windblown sheep - welcome to The Faroe Islands. But what 's really going on out there? Can we trust travel agencies and polite historians? Sometimes we simply need an anthropologist to decode customs and rituals of savage indigenous tribes.
Four characters enter a journey to pursue the last white spot still left on the map - Papua New Guinea. The trip becomes increasingly delusive. Their search for exoticism is revealed more and more as a substitute for their own lack of identity. The hollow anticlimax is a fact even long before arrival. Not a happy end, actually.
Four hardcore bureaucrats have for long been stuck in an office deep inside a government department. Secret message deliveries and bleeping lamps control their daily chores and the outside world has become nothing but a blurred memory. But they manage. Until one strange day when the smell of freshly baked bread fills the air.
In a remote hospital in Iceland, three nurses try to endure the lack of patients by injuring then treating each other, performing their duties on themselves as an alternative to the real thing. Not a healthy activity, but it passes the time and at least something is happening. A military chopper is constantly passing overhead, revealing a far simpler explanation for their problems.
What's really going on around the North Pole? For centuries, this spot has been the regular meeting point during weekends for Inuits from the different Arctic corners sharing gossip and news. This is a well kept secret that hasn’t reached the rest of the world yet. But it is now time to reveal the truth as we join in on a weekend singalong chillout.
The remains of a popular music orchestra are suffering from a serious hangover somewhere deep in the Finnish woods. The lead singer has left for a solo career in the big city and all they can do is wait and hope for her return. Money has run out, bottles are empty, and the desire to sing is long gone. If a miracle should happen, the timing could not be better.
A group of diplomats are trying to maintain a consulate. The front looks bad, the inside is worse, and neutral politeness is long forgotten. But in a world of mental fatigue and worn hopes, a ray of light can sometimes appear – the tiny seed of love. This requires, unfortunately, a domestic diplomacy far beyond their consular talents.
Co-production with REYKJAVIK CITY THEATRE.
