THE SHRIEK OF A BIRD
– music from the show

Theatre  (Kanon Produksjon)
Composer/songwriter, arranger

Play by Jon Erik Myre and Ina Maria Brekke, based on texts by Vilhelm Krag, performed in Bankkjelleren summer 2020, and in Posebyhaven summer 2021.

He and She meet. This is not the first time. But who are they to each other? And who are they to themselves? They are both people with baggage, gathered through life, but cope with their challenges and surroundings in very different ways. He is a realist, in his own eyes, and no longer sees the point of anything. He wished everything was different. That everything was better. And there’s a lot he doesn’t quite understand. She carries the grief inside. She dresses layer upon layer with assumed optimism, and forgets to take care of herself. To dissolve, and to fix, so she can actually feel good. The two share their views, observations and thoughts, and perhaps they’ll also find their way to the same goal, using each other.
