vampires and dead guys

vampire guides

Last night Maria and I went to the cemetary "vår frelsers gravlund" where all the famous norwegians are burried, to see the theatre play "when the dead awakens". The scene was set around the center of the park, and around 50 people showed up to take the tour.

 "When We Dead Awaken?
Two black angels and a ghost guide lead the audience through a theatrical performance that takes place at Vår frelsers gravlund. After nightfall…


With Æreslunden memorial cemetery as a backdrop to the performance, we are drawn into an exciting, eerie universe where the unexpected can happen. Several of our national heroes gradually come to life in front of our very eyes and the performance will deal with the type of relationship that the respective national ghost heroes have with Henrik Ibsen himself. In addition, the performance topicalises the relationship between life and art, the choices we have or don’t have in life, what causes us to make particular choices, and the consequences of the choices we make."

In addition to great theatrical preformances by the actors and some effectful use of candellight and flashlights the two demons preformed a well choreographed piece.

If you missed out, you still have one chance to go and see it on Oslo kulturnatt September 24'th.
