Based on Tarjei Vesaas's dark and haunting novel, IS-SLOTTET follows two girls, Siss and Unn, whose friendship is shaped by fear and joy. When the orphaned Unn arrives in their small village, something changes, and the two make a pact to stay together forever. Then Unn is drawn to the frozen ice castle on the lake, lured by something stranger than any fairy tale.
The production is a classic play with a cast of three: Maria Rossing, Karin Bang Heinemeier and Mikkel Arndt. Directed by Anja Behrens, with set design by Karin Gille, music by Emil Assing Høyer and lighting by Malte Haugaard. Vesaas was the first Norwegian to receive the Nordic Council Literature Prize, for this very book.
