The Bergen adventure continues, this time at Den Nationale Scene with the musical As It Is in Heaven (Så som i himmelen), based on the Swedish film from 2004. The musical had its world premiere at Oscarsteatern in Stockholm in 2018 and has since been performed at Oslo Nye Teater, Nordland Teater, and Trøndelag Teater. Now, at last, the story comes to Bergen, and Jon Erik will take on the role of Holmfrid in this new production, directed by Lars Jacobsen.

In May, Jon Erik heads west as Fyllingsdalen Teater presents its biggest production to date: "Fiddler on the Roof", performed under the open sky atop Bergen’s iconic Fløyen. Jon Erik will play the role of Mordche, the innkeeper of Anatevka, sharing the stage with Kristoffer Sagmo Aalberg (Tevye), Herborg Kråkevik (Golde), and a large ensemble of around 50 local performers.

The performance will be staged in all ports.

In January, Jon Erik was awarded both writing support and dramaturgy assistance from The Norwegian Centre for New Playwriting (Dramatikkens Hus) for the development of the stage text TOGETHER, APART (org. title: SAMMEN, HVER FOR OSS).

In September, Kanon Produksjon returns to Kristiansand, this time with a world premiere. The Lucky Ship explores a year aboard the cargo ship D/S Hestmanden, just as World War II hits Norway.
