Norwegian Play 'Arv og miljø' Premieres at Berlin's Schaubühne During FIND Festival
The Schaubühne Berlin hosts a guest performance of 'Arv og miljø' on April 18, part of the FIND – Festival Internationale Neue Dramatik running from April 16 to 26. Based on Vigdis Hjorth's novel, the Norwegian play explores familial conflict triggered by inheritance disputes over two seaside summer houses. Protagonist Bergljot returns to her family with contested childhood memories, shifting the drama from property division to debates over truth and authority. Directed by Kjersti Horn, the production emphasizes unresolved tensions between loyalty and self-assertion rather than resolution. Monopol magazine is offering a giveaway for one pair of tickets to the April 18 show at 6 PM, with entries accepted via email to info@monopol-magazin.de by April 13 at 2 PM. Winners will be notified by email, and tickets will be held at the box office, with no legal recourse available. Hjorth's original novel, titled 'Ein falsches Wort' in German, sparked widespread discussion on autobiographical writing and family boundaries upon its release.
