(NIGHT ORIENTEERS)
We're delighted to present this capture of one of Swedish theater's most beloved contemporary classics, bringing the magic of live performance to the screen. In this audience favorite, legendary actresses Yvonne Lombard and Meta Velander shine as Vera and Bricken, two stubborn night orienteers whose paths cross in the forest on a wild and whimsical night, as friendly winds blow in from Fruängen.
This enchanting production showcases acclaimed poet and dramatist Kristina Lugn's signature blend of comedy and poignant observation, masterfully directed for the stage by Eva Dahlman. Our filming approach carefully preserves the intimate theatrical experience while offering viewers unique perspectives impossible to achieve from a theater seat.
What begins as a chance encounter between two headstrong women engaged in nocturnal navigation evolves into a rich exploration of human connection, aging, and the unexpected places where we find meaning. Lombard and Velander, two titans of Swedish theater, bring decades of experience to these complex characters, creating an unforgettable duet that perfectly captures both the humor and humanity of Lugn's text.
