MAKT - an amateur night at Capitol Hill. Premiere in Trondheim.

January 10, 2020

The new monologue MAKT - an amateur night at Capitol Hill, written and performed by Lise Risom Olsen, has its premiere on January 17th at Rosendal Teater in Trondheim.

Should power be accessible for all? Or could this turn democracy to its own worst enemy? Capitol Hill, or The Capitoline Hill, was the heart of ancient Rome and a symbol of the Roman Empire. Today, Capitol Hill is the name of centers of power around the world, but it is also the center of power and wealth in many fantasy and sci-fi TV-series.

In this piece, the actor Lise Risom Olsen presents both despotic Macbethian ideas of seeking power for the sake of it, and more recent notions in the age of mass propaganda where those who stand for nothing are susceptible to anything. The format evolves constantly, making us question both the actual agenda of the performer and our own role in this game of power structures. Political speeches, events in recent history, classical drama, and manipulation techniques are jumbled together. MAKT - an amateur night at Capitol Hill is about wanting, claiming, and possessing power, and about how power can be distributed and redistributed, and how this renders some powerless and others powerful.

The performance is made by NONcompany and co-produced by Rosendal Teater and BIT Teatergarasjen.

With Lise Risom Olsen. Director and dramaturgy Christoph Buchegger, video design Philip Hohenwarter, light design and sound Sune Schelderup and video and sound Brynjar Vik. Producer is Tone Myklatun.
