Today, an extremely charming young man visited me in my small home studio in Berlin-Neukölln, to talk to me about one of my favourite topics: Love! And Improv. Nils Petter Mørland and four peers (Mats, Henrik, Kristin & Catherine) from his ensemble “Det Andre Teatret” (The Other Theatre) from Oslo (Norway) have performed an extraordinary superb improvised Romantic Comedy on the evening before (7th Jan. 2016). Already back in August during the Gothenburg Improfest, I was rapt away by their format “And then they met”.
Nils is the Artistic Director of the ensemble and in this interview, that I had the pleasure to conduct with him, he talks about himself, the (hi)story of “Det Andre Teatret” and of course about their Romantic Comedy format. Enjoy this cuddly topic! (Don’t be puzzled, the interview is in English, only the introduction is in German).
