Berg is still in the repertoire at Teater Sláva. The performance
had its opening 17/2-2007 and it has since then been played at schools
and in Tonsalen the home of Teater Sláva. The target audience
is first kids from about seven year old, but it works also fine for
grown-ups. |

Berg are a performance built on en old Japanese folk tale. (I have also
heard that it would be among the fairy tales that the Grim brothers where
gathering.) It is about a young sumo wrestler – Eviga Berg – who meats a family – a girl, her mother and her grand mother – on his way to the emperor’s great wrestling competition in the big city. Eviga Berg considers him self very strong, but he gets easily bitten up by each of the three women. The women decide to help Eviga Berg though. |
| After
a year has gone by he is ready to go in to the big city to wrestle.
It is just that he has fallen in love with the daughter in the house.
But the family promises him to marry if he only comes back from the
emperor’s great wrestling competition as a winner. Off course
he wins and the young ones get each other. |

The
performance is a warm and humorous story about love and about to win ones
humbleness. We are following Eviga Berg on his way from impertinent, impatient
conceit to peaceful, patient gentleness, where also love has its place. Eviga Berg is created on a physical and acrobatic narrative, with masks, shadow play and puppets. The music, with songs from the whole world, has been a very important element in the performance. |

Berg are my first collaboration with Teater Sláva. It has been
very fun to work together with a experienced and physically orientated
ensemble. It has made the work smooth and uncomplicated. It has also been
very rewarding to work with a so incredibly musical skilled group.
