The Storm Within
On her native soil just above the Arctic Circle, Norwegian-Dutch theater director Eline Arbo recalls her teenage spirit: "I was so bold, eager and looking for fun - I often think back on those days." Today, she feels like a fighter trying with all her might to turn the tide in an alienating and unjust world. In The Storm Within, Arbo reflects on her role as a leading theater director as she rehearses for the new play Haugtussa, based on a Norwegian cycle of poems in which a young woman with magical powers seeks refuge in nature. With a dark and mysterious theatrical adaptation, Arbo aims to create a world never before seen on stage. In her view, the ominous mythical scenes of nineteenth century Haugtussa are profoundly contemporary.
