Teater Fusentast Teater Fusentast (Scatterbrain Theatre) likes to play with different kinds of theatre and with traditions. We turn them upside down and let the possibilities that then turn up surprise us. We hope that these surprises, and the joy of their discovery, will give our audience experiences that they wouldn't like to have been without. We enjoy the queer, the weird, the magic sides of being. Lack of respect, compassion and wisdom in daily life (and amongst those who try to decide for us and others) gives us the creeps. This attitude you won't find difficult to discover in our productions. We like you to discover together with us these good stories that accompany us in our own lives. Therefore, we usually choose an open and including style of acting. Puppets, music, acting and text are equally important ingredients. These live ingredients are to give our performances their character. For different reasons we have reduced our dependency on electricity and electronics to a minimum. One of them: it gives us the possibility to play almost anywhere in Norway and abroad.
