MÁVURINN

Mávurinn (2008) from LHÍ Sviðslistir on Vimeo.

You always have a choice

The choice of fight or flight. The choice of yes or no. The choice of a job, a spouse, children. But choose wisely or there will be hell to pay.

Konstantin has a choice to make. Should he stick by his guns, fight for new forms in theatre with his girlfriend or let mum, the star of the stage, make sure he makes it under a false persona named Trigorin? What does it take to be accepted as a grown up? And is it worth it or just a trap as they say?

Konstantin has to choose what he wants to be when he grows up. And despite what his friend Masha says, he doubts being himself will suffice. 

Final project from Theatre Theory and Practice from Iceland Academy of the Arts, performed in Kassinn, National Theatre of Iceland 10th, 15th and 18th of May 2008.

Þú átt alltaf val.

Val um að hrökkva eða stökkva. Val um já eða nei. Val um starf, skóla, maka, börn. En sá á kvölina sem á völina.

Konstantin þarf að velja. Á hann að standa við stóru orðin og berjast fyrir nýjum formum í leiklist með kærustunni; eða leyfa mömmu, frægri leikkonunni, að sjá til þess að hann slái í gegn undir dulnefninu Trigorin? Hvað þarf hann að gera til að fá stimpilinn: Fullorðinn? Og er sá stimpill þess virði?

Konstantin þarf að velja hvað hann vill verða þegar hann er orðinn stór. Og hvað sem Masha, vinkona hans, segir, þá efast hann um að það sé nóg að vera hann sjálfur.
