Anja Garbarek and Jo Strømgren Kompani are thrilled to announce that we will be back at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet in January for three more performances of The Road is Just a Surface.
Three sold out shows and great reviews last time, so get your tickets now! Or make someone happy, we think tickets to this performance is the Christmas gift of the year!
A demonstration of creativity.
★★★★★☆Dagsavisen, Norway
Solid comeback!
A beautiful journey through the human mind.
★★★★★★Olav Gorseth, Bergens Avisen
The choreographer Jo Strømgren shows with “Salve Regina” that he still has a lot at heart. He is as creative as he has always been, and with an intact ability to surprise.
★★★★★☆VG, Norway
Fresh, new and funny!
★★★★★☆Aftenposten
Magic beyond words.
★★★★★Theaterkrant, Netherlands
The Hospital is physical theatre at its very best: daring, dark, unpredictable and charged with compressed intensity. The skill and courage of the performers is breathtaking.
The Guardian, UK
A complete and utter success. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.
The Gazette, Canada
The result is impressive ensemble work from four performers whose look of unforced, alert connection adds to the mystery and sadness.
New York Times, USA
Tempo, timing and interactions are gleefully precise, and the performance is filled with energy and enthusiasm.
NRK Kulturnytt, Norway
One of the most interesting new film projects in Norway
Rushprint
A treat for the eyes and a wonder of human movement.
The Bogotá Post, Colombia
Human and multifaceted, lighthearted and ironic, narrative with a dancer’s expression of character.
Julius Ferraro, Phindie, USA
A wise tale about life, that sometimes is terrifying and grim, and sometimes merry and witty. Multidimensional.
G?os Wielkopolski, Poland
