Have you ever wondered about the history of the Faroe Islands? No? Well, that’s a shame. You’re going to hear about it anyway.

This is a deeply serious exploration of the Faroese past, with no jokes involved—just plenty of facts you never asked for and will probably forget immediately afterward (and that’s perfectly fine).

For once, as a nation, we’re trying to be taken seriously, and this show is part of that effort. After selling out twice at the 2025 Reykjavík Fringe Festival, it turns out there’s something here people actually want to see.

Expect a detailed, 100% academic analysis grounded in historical sources and modern research. Topics include Viking history and more recent events. Don’t worry—it’s more boring than it sounds.

So sit back, relax, and prepare to learn everything about almost nothing. It’s history, it’s culture, and really, I’m just trying to educate people about my country—so please, try not to laugh. We don’t often get to be part of events like this.
