Oliver

Luckily, this year has been very interesting in a lot of levels. Besides the incredible people I’ve been meeting and the incredible places I’ve already visited, I’ve been discovering, step by step what the Norwegian culture is.

Art is one of the aspects present in the definition of culture. I’ve learned about some artists at school, I’ve visited museums, I’ve heard, when advised, to some Norwegian groups and, recently, I had the opportunity to see a musical performed by kids aged from 10 to 18.

I was first invited to the premiere, again to a second performance in which the Norwegian King was present and finally (if I don’t manage, with this post, to convince someone to invite me again) a third time that wasn’t any less impressive than the two others.

We always applause young kids’ effort and agree it’s so sweet that they’re trying. This time, I applauded a great artistic moment performed by very smart, talented and hard-working little actors.

It helps when you have incredible singers, that’s, for sure, the base of the performance, but there is so much more than this. The best way to describe the quality of the acting is by saying that with my basic norwegian skills, I managed to understand quite well what was going on.

What I liked the most was a solo singing moment by the girl playing Oliver. She has this touching young voice with just a bit of insecurity and an abnormal simplicity.

The older actors are incredibly talented and you can tell by the facial expressions  how passionate they are with what they are doing.

If you want to go, but don’t know who to go with, invite me, I will be so glad. The last shows are this weekend so it might be difficult to get tickets if you don't order before the day.

Meet you there.
