Love songs break teenage taboos

In this musical show, the young people themselves take the floor about love and sexuality. Each time, local peers join the Icelandic choir to write and sing songs with them. In this melodious ode to the coming-of-age love and sexuality are represented in all forms and colours.

For years the Icelandic Ásrún Magnúsdóttir and the Brit Alexander Roberts have found each other in joint dance and performance projects in which they work together with people who are not very often presented on stage. Their work, which focuses on co-creation and participation, has been awarded several prizes in Iceland and is also applauded in a growing number of theatres in Europe.
