Brown - Teater Joker/Akershus Teater

Brune was played on June 16, 2018 at 16:00 and 18:00

By day Rune is Rune Rune, a boy who has just lost his grandfather, but by night he is Brune - the superhero who is not afraid of anything. He sneaks out and paints the bikes of the boys who demolished the plank cabin. Eventually, he gets help from his friends Atle and Åse. But that's not all: Suddenly he meets his grandfather, who is dead ...

"Brune" is a dramatization of Håkon Øvreås' book by the same name, which won the Nordic Council Children and Young People's Literature Prize in 2014 and was nominated for the Brage Prize in 2013. "Brown" won The Hedda Award 2017 in the best production for children category.

Teater Joker has created a theatrical production about feeling left out and getting even. This is the story of a little boy who, thanks to a lot of imagination and courage, manages to actively confront his opponents. Rune's confrontation takes place at the same time as he experiences grief and longing for his grandfather. It is as if imagination helps Rune to process both his grief and the limitations of reality. Rune's story is a wonderful mix of realism and adventure, play and seriousness, with themes such as grief, bullying, friendship and revenge.

"Brune" was developed in collaboration with Akershus Theatre and was performed at the Showbox festival in Oslo.

Teater Joker is a company with an overall goal of creating new performing arts, often in collaboration with a playwright in the development of the script. The company was established in Paris in 1991 by Nina Carlheim Gyllensköld and Niels Peter Underland and has since then created new productions mainly for children and youth. All of the company's productions have toured across large parts of the country through Scenekunstbruket's repertoire and The Cultural Rucksack.

Akershus Teater is a touring theater for the entire county of Akershus. The theater is a pure project theater and has no permanent ensemble or stage, but uses freelance artists on and behind the stage.
