Housekeeper

Experience Edvard Hoem's latest novel as a theatrical performance. A warm, poignant, and vividly alive presentation about being seen and being remembered. In 1911, Julie Elisabeth Hoem dies at the nursing home in Nordnes. The protocol states: No relatives. Nothing left behind. Yet her life contains a whole world. Based on Edvard Hoem's novel Housemaid , the story of violin maker Lars Olsen's youngest daughter is brought to light. Julie Elisabeth was a proud and unyielding woman who lived at the crossroads of old and new times, before the welfare state took shape, and when a woman's life could easily vanish into silence. Homelessness After her youth in Kristiansund, Julie Elisabeth worked most of her life as a housemaid for affluent families in Bergen. She sat at the master's table - but did she really belong there? The performance illustrates how small choices, dreams of love, and a longing for belonging can shape an entire life.
