Ivar Aasen - A Musical

(This musical will be in Norwegian)
In 1842, Ivar Aasen set out on a journey that will mark Norway's history for all time: the Norwegian language will finally be written down. When he packs his suitcase, he puts a lot of himself on the shelf—feelings and longings must give way to the great calling he must now follow. But what happens when he is finished, and the national goal has been found? Is there time left to get the life he actually dreams of?

This new musical is based on the true story of Ivar Aasen, and is based on his own descriptions from letters and diaries. Join us on an adventure through 19th-century Norway!

The text and music are by Marcus Grand Michaelsen and Olav Ødegård. The performance is presented by the Studentersamfundets Interne Teater in collaboration with Studentersamfundets Orchestra, Trondhjem's Studentersangforening and Trondhjem's kvinnelige Studentersangforening.

The doors open half an hour before the show begins.
