The child

THE CHILD by Oskar Braaten - Dramatised by Harald Tusberg, music by Egil Monn-Iversen - Adapted by Marianne Sævig and Runar Hodne A raw and powerful musical about tumultuous love, a harsh reality, impossible choices, strong solidarity, and fantastic music. Oskar Braaten's contemporary drama from 1911 is back, in Oslo Nye Teater's reinterpretation of the musical THE CHILD. Milja and Julius are in love, but their young love collapses. Milja is left alone with no money and a newborn child. Without the means to support the child, she must make the hardest choice a mother can face: to let go of her own child. In Oslo Nye's THE CHILD, the poverty around Akerselva has been replaced by a modern welfare state that is cracking at the seams. The gap between the rich and the poor is enormous, and social rights are a thing of the past. What do you do when material resources are lacking? You rely on those around you. With a live band on stage, the story of Milja and Hønse-Lovisa is told through Egil Monn-Iversen's musical classics, including Lørdagskveld and Drømmen om morradan. The theatre director and director Runar Hodne, together with Marianne Sævig, has reinterpreted Harald Tusberg and Egil Monn-Iversen's musical THE CHILD, while maintaining the heart and warmth of Oskar Braaten's story. The role of Milja is played by Catharina Vu, known for the lead role Kim in Miss Saigon, while the caring person Hønse-Lovisa is played by Sanne Kvitnes, well-known for the lead role Maria in The Sound of Music, Miss Saigon (Ellen), and more. Other participants include Gunnar Eiriksson (Julius), Karoline P.U. Schau (Petrine), Trine Wenberg Svensen, Helle Haugen, Maria Agwumaro, Sindre Postholm, Birgitte Victoria Svendsen, Ferdinand Falsen Hiis, June Balterzen, and Alexander Karlsen El Younossi.
