Tessa is a young, successful defense attorney who has worked her way up to the top of the game; cross-examining, defending, and winning. Everything seems to be going her way.

But one evening she is suddenly thrown into a situation where she must put the system to the test. She who was invincible is now fighting the biggest battle of her life to find her way out of the same shadow of doubt that she has previously cast over others. "Prima Facie" takes us to the difficult point where life meets the rules of the law.
"Prima Facie" is thought-provoking, brutal and moving. A play that stays with you long after the curtain has fallen. 

The play has received numerous awards and has triumphed in London, New York and on stages all over the world. With the Riksteatret and the Nationaltheatret, audiences on 45 stages across the country have the opportunity to experience this moving and timely performance where they live. 

  • Prima Facie – a (Latin) legal term meaning apparent or at first glance.

How thin, long and difficult is it possible to turn wood? Vidar Iversen shows, through his objects and sculptures in wood, that little is impossible when he uncompromisingly follows an idea - and at the same time masters the craft. The exhibition opens at the same time as the Wooden Boat Festival, and makes Galleri Kunstparken even more relevant for wood lovers.

If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?

"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.  

The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?

--Said about the book:

"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly

Business News

"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"

Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House

--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
