Historie og humor i Drøbak
5/05/17 •
DRØBAK/NORGE: 4.mai 2017: Festningen Oscarsborg ruver i Oslofjorden og er Drøbaks stolthet. Festningen og dens kommandant står også i sentrum for syngespillet Åttemannsenka som nå er tatt opp igjen etter urpremieren i 2000. Spillestedet er flyttet fra selve festningen, med alt den tilførte av stemning. Nå brukes det nye kulturhuset Smia (av uforståelige grunner gitt det forferdelige navnet Flerbrukshuset). Lokalet får sin ildprøve som musikalscene og består den med glans selv om sjarmen fra utendørsarenaen midt i fjorden savnes. Anmeldelse av Torkil Baden.

Beautiful dancers in smart outfit in delicious colours after Jasper Johns, who was on duty and did their job well. The sound collage by with textes and also set design after Marcel Duchamp was special, and didn´t makes any success. Boring and not catching at all. Visited by Henning Høholt
