By Jon Fosse and Robert Wilson, based on the eponymous Old Norse mythology
To premiere in March of 2017 at the Norwegian Theater, Oslo, Norway.
Robert Wilson’s Edda is based on Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse’s interpretation of old norse mythology, the religion that dominated Scandinavia until the 11th century. The sources for our knowledge about this religion are different icelandic scholars and authors written poems from medieval time. Fosse read the “Old Edda”- literature, and gave it his personal form. He created a dramatic dialogue with strong musical and rhythmic qualities, moving the stories nearer to us while keeping them different and remote. In this production for Oslo’s Norske Teatret, Fosse’s fascinating and suggestive text meets the visual language of Robert Wilson.
The music for Edda was written by Arvo Pärt, the famous Estonian composer (see Adam’s Passion), and by the duo CocoRosie, who previously collaborated with Robert Wilson on Peter Pan (Berlin, 2013) and Pushkin’s Fairy Tales (Moscow, 2015), and most recently on Jungle Book (Luxembourg, 2019).
“In EDDA the Norse mythology comes alive in a way completely different from anything we are familiar with from traditional productions. … It is stunning, it is abstract absurdism and it is above all Robert Wilson.”— Dagsavisen
“EDDA is a Gesamtkunstwerk that spins through time in a absurd, beautiful and playful way … Two hours of a fantastic suggestive mix of exquisite pictures, burlesque and mythology.”— Svenska Dagbladet
Stephen Petronio’s melancholy, disturbingly beautiful new Architecture of Loss…is not trying to show us mourning as a response to loss; he’s showing us loss as absence and the evanescence of supporting structures. …it feels the way a room feels when someone dear to you has gone away for a long time.
An English Touring Theatre, Royal & Derngate, Northampton and Rose Theatre Kingston co-production.
“Love changes us. Love’s alchemy! In that furnace everything changes. Hard stone shatters, iron goes soft and turns to liquid… and so do we… in love’s fire”
Based upon real events from Stratford-upon-Avon in the summer of 1613, The Herbal Bed is a powerful thriller about human desire. When William Shakespeare’s daughter is publicly accused of adultery, her family’s lives fall under the glare of intense public scrutiny. Culminating in a dramatic trial at Worcester Cathedral, the scandal threatens to destroy her family’s reputation within their tight-knit community.
Originally produced to great acclaim by the Royal Shakespeare Company, The Herbal Bed was a huge hit in the West End and on Broadway, with an Olivier Award nomination and writer Peter Whelan winning Playwright of the Year.

”en uppiggande dystopisk start på Bergmanfestivalen” SvD ”Katharsis för vår tid.” SvD ”Dansen ilar dessutom genom iscensättningen som rent fysisk energi.” SvD ”…lysande samspelt i både dialog och dans…” DN ”Tillsammans med den isländske artisten Helgi Jónssons innerliga musik får dansen gestalta en längtan som språket tycks ha korrumperat.” DN ”Ett förtrollande porträtt” Aftonbladet ”som att Ingmar Bergmans filmvärld och vår egen digitala samtid stoppats ner i en mental kvarn och sedan serveras som den väller ut, i en osorterad, drömlik, men likafullt poetisk blandning.” UNT ”Otroligt skickligt som ett total konstverk i blandning av text, dans, musik och scenbild” SR P1 Kultur ”nåt av det vackraste man har sett” SR P1 Kultur
