Before the premiere of the opera Someone Is Going to Come, there will be a pre-show talk about the work with composer Knut Vaage in conversation with Åsmund Ådnøy.
One of the most enigmatic and unsettling pieces in Norwegian drama is now being presented in a new, music-dramatic form. Someone Is Going to Come by Jon Fosse, with music by Knut Vaage and direction by Bruno Berger-Gorski, becomes a raw and intimate experience – close to body, voice, and silence.
Two people retreat to a house by the sea. They want to be alone. But in the quiet, something begins to stir. What if someone comes?
Through Fosse’s poetic and charged language, and Vaage’s expressive, deeply moving music, the audience is drawn into a restlessness that won’t let go. A performance that smells of sea and isolation, of longing, power, and darkness.
