Graduation Project of Playwrights 2025

Dear viewers,

The moment is slippery, it renews itself over and over but never returns.
In the performing arts, we are given the opportunity to stand in the midst of paradox and feel, to assess context and experience.
The playwrights of the future are both here and now and long gone – with boldness and generosity they invite us to a conversation with ourselves – and perhaps something will be created that never existed before.

Congratulations on the moment.

Greta Kristín Ómarsdóttir
Director of the Playwrights' Path


Instructors: Anna Maria Tomasdottir, Greta Kristin Omarsdottir & Karl August Thorbergsson.

     SALARY

    SALARY is an interaction between dance and acrobatics.
    The hall is a place where new exhibitions are born, where inspiration plays with the mind, emotions reach their peak, and where hopes of changing the world through art are born. What are its profound secrets? And how does the magic that this space possesses come about?
    The work S(Á)ALUR undoubtedly provides the answer. The work is a reflection of what happens inside the hall, a space that has long been considered a haven for many artists.

    Is this a masterpiece?

    Greetings, dear guests,

    Within the walls of this world you can find what might scare you. Big questions and poetic phrases. A connection to the emotions and the child that lives inside, or is there a switch there that creates broken bridges?

    Am I an artist? Is this a masterpiece? Bad artist! This is a masterpiece!
