The performance of “Velskodt” is loosely based on Gudmund Findsson’s novel of the same title, which was published in 1979.

Playwright Oda Radur took some liberties with the dramatization in order to adapt the performance for today’s audience.

It may have something to do with the fact that the plot of the book takes place in the 1960s, whereas the show seems to take place after decriminalization in 1972. It is about homosexuality that sinNot like any law­Scrimmage.

The performance focuses on the love between Yngve and Magnus.

With this, an important point from the book is pursued: affirmation means affirmation.

poetic space

The love emerging between the newly moved in Yanjafi and the House of Prayer­Favorite Magnus was played by Fredrik Hostaker and Erik Langas Jørgensen.

Director Erlend Samnøen kicks off the performance with a groovy dance sequence from Hostaker.

This is a clever move because it opens up a poetic space in the performance that forms a contrast with the lines – Expression in choreography is deeper than words.

Reverend Morten Espland looks much more mild-mannered on stage than he is in the book, but also malicious. He is well balanced and plays well.

Espen Sigurdsen’s Janne is also made into an interesting character in this performance, and one I wish she had more room for.

Sigurdsen brings his energy to the performance and is an important addition to what is, after all, a somewhat cult-conforming house­session.

proximity to the core

Radour’s play stands on its own pretty well, but it’s an advantage to reading the first chapters of the book.

Then you have more background with you in the performance, and get a deeper understanding of the characters’ motivations.

A lot has been thrown away, especially the very judgmental environment around the boys, for example through the difficult Magnus family­Situation.

Now the battle is between individuals, it’s about daring to be who you are – with all that that may entail.

The story progresses quickly. This is especially true of the motive behind Magnus’ many torments and redesigns.

However, it relies strongly on choosing to be true to oneself.

Back straight

Source manages to land the show quite well. It tells an important and modern story of gay love, unmistakably wrapped in a ’70s cult house­aesthetics.

At the same time, the book’s aggression nicely balances the changes that have occurred over the past forty years.

It also manages to highlight and renew the humor present in the novel.

This is a fun, uplifting play about love for what it is: heavy doses of awkward sensuality, annoying Smiles, sadness when someone lets you down, and the choice to keep moving forward in life.
