ANSIGTET

MOD

VÆGGEN

HOLLAND HOUSE (DK)

With radical scepticism, the British dramatist, Martin Crimp, describes our culture of contentment in a dialogue, where form and substance merge. Holland House’s strong, visual theatre gives an account of how we, in our reality of welfare, try to protect our selfes against the catastrophic and chaotic state of the world.

Ansigtet mod Væggen earned instructor Jakob F. Schokking from Holland House a Reumert Award as ‘Best Intructor’ at the annual Danish Reumert Awards 2009. Tammi Øst received a Reumert Award as ’Best Female Lead Role’ for among other things her performance in Ansigtet mod Væggen.

Press quotes

Tammi Øst, Steen Stig Lommer, and Henrik Birch perform outstandingly in this modern theatre of horror. Frightening and fascinating in Schokking’s direction.
Berlingske Tidende


Competent and most fascinating theatre in Jacob F. Schokking’s inducing direction. Tammi Øst, Steen Stig Lommer and Henrik Birch gather the lines with a brilliant, musical grasp.
