REYKJAVÍK ENSEMBLE: Opening Ceremony

A performance launching a new international theatre company REYKJAVÍK ENSEMBLE, a platform enabling artistic participation of professional artists of all languages and backgrounds.

Opening Ceremony is a devised theatre piece, a dynamic collaboration ignited and constructed through materials programmed by Reykjavík Ensemble for the inaugural theatrical year of 2020. It’s a theatre performance teaser, an ode to creativity and the newfound diverse artistic community.

Opening Ceremony is an alchemical fusion of the corporeal, textual, musical and visual language of theatre. The group directed by Pálína Jónsdóttir created a metamorphic, dream like journey, a mosaic composition, compiled with sequences of events, discovered through the practice of improvisation. Pálína included fragments of material from local foreign-born authors, among them are Mazen Maarouf, Ewa Marcinek and Elías Knorr.
