Play by Jon Erik Myre, performed in the theatre at Kilden theatre- and consert house, june 2024.


In SPECTACLE, the fate of the local theatre is at stake. In hopes of saving her beloved workplace, producer Henriette, a busy and optimistic soul, has hired the renowned director David in hopes of drawing the audience back to the theatre, unaware of the content of the upcoming production. The belief that the theatre will flourish with the well-known artist at the helm is strong, but the challenges become evident when the director’s vision proves to be unclear, especially with the season launch only hours away. Kåre, one of the house technicians, becomes an unlikely hero and a necessary key figure in the director’s creative chaos. His insight into both the theatre and the “common people,” along with his practical skills, becomes crucial to realising the vision, even though he doesn’t fully understand what it entails. In the aftermath of the chaos, where artistic ambitions collide with reality, these three characters must find a way to balance their differences to collectively save the theatre’s future.
