The Art Nouveau Center in Norway 21.10.2013 - 08.11.2013
The play is a meeting between the audience and the different rooms and objects that occupy the Art Nouveau Center in Ålesund, Norway. The actress Ingrid Bakke takes the audience on a journey through the old pharmacy. Along the way they will encounter different characters who suffer from Art Nouveau-fever. The only thing that links these characters together is their love for the Art Nouveau objects. The play is about the beauty and esthetics of Art Nouveau, but also about what makes some people love it so much and what makes something beautiful.
