Høyrer vi den same lyden
Do we hear the same sound
A counterpoint of western giants .
Jon Fosse and Geir Tveitt are two artists of apparently dissimilar temperament , but actor Lise Fjeldstad and pianist Håvard Gimse have found what they call ‘ surprisingly many common features ’ in the manner in which the poet and the composer create atmosphere in their works . Particularly in Tveitt ' s more evocative works they detect undertones reminiscent of Fosse . Furthermore they have discovered great similarities between the construction of form and timing in Fosse ' s poems and Tveitt ' s Hardingtonar . km

Ibsens små djevler
Ibsen ’ s little devils
A search for the playwrights and poets inner self .
Henrik Ibsen was known to be a rather reserved person . Most people are familiar with his great dramas , but that does not necessarily mean one gets any more familiar with Henrik Ibsen as a person . But in his lyric poetry one can find traces of him . Ibsen himself called his poems ‘ the little devils ’, and maybe he would rather have wanted to forget these early writings as he thought they might reveal his innermost self .
Fortunately his poems live on . In a captivating concert performance actor Lise Fjeldstad embarks on these little devils with empathy , an inquisitive eye , and imagination , while pianist Håvard Gimse illuminates our great playwright ’ s mind through piano pieces by Edvard Grieg and Harald Sæverud .
