Recent Theatre History ICELAND updated Sat Oct 15 01:48:57 2005 |
For centuries Iceland was exclusively a rural society. Theatre, in the modern sense of the word, was therefore late to put roots in the country. Written accounts from the mid-18th century relate the dramatic games of the students at the two cathedral schools, at Hólar, and especially at Skálholt, and describe a ceremony known as "Herranótt" (Lord's Night) as well as a satirical sermon akin to the "sermon joyeux". This led to the birth of Icelandic drama with the satirical comedies of Sigurdur Petursson (1759-1827), fashioned after Moliére and Holberg. Amateur theatre groups were formed in the villages, but Reykjavík saw the first performances of the only 19th century plays to have lasting value. These were Skugga-Sveinn (1862) by Matthías Jochumsson (1835-1920), and New Year's Eve (1872) by Indridi Einarsson (1851-1939). Both playwrights were disciples of stage designer Sigurdur Gudmundsson (1833-74), the first theatre person with a conscious policy. Gudmundsson prompted writers to make use of folklore and historical motifs for their plays, so the people could be enlightened and made aware of their national identity. This ideal was linked with the struggle to preserve the Icelandic language under foreign rule. The Reykjavík Theatre Company was established in 1897, aiming to secure the growth of playwrighting and raise the standard of productions. The new company found a home in a small intimate theatre, the Idno, and remained there until 1989 when it moved into the new Reykjavík City Theatre. The first ten years of the company emphasized that theatre was a meaningful form of art and not just for amusement. The years 1907-1920, often labelled "The Icelandic period", were characterized by first productions of Icelandic plays, and the Icelandic repertoire was enriched by several playwwrights, including Johann Sigurjonsson (1880-1919) with plays such as Eyvind of the Mountains (1911) and Gudmundur Kamban (1888-1945) whose We Murderers (1920) marks the end of an era. By 1964 the RTC had a small company under long term contracts. The idea of a national theatre was suggested by Sigurdur Gudmundsson around 1860. Later Indridi Einarsson led the campaign and eventually the theatre opened in 1950. Funding was secured through a special tax, which was also intended to cover the running costs of the theatre. The National Theatre was the first fully professional theatre in the country as well as a national institution and a symbol of independence. Among the opening productions was Lárus Pálsson's adaptation of Halldor Laxness' (1902-1998) novel The Bell of Iceland, which acheived popular success and has remained central to the NT repertoire. This success may have been instrumental in the novelist's turning to playwrighting, as during the next several years he wrote four plays for the stage, a curious mix of absurdism and symbolism, satire and lyricism. During the 1970s and 1980s a number of Laxness' novels were adapted for the stage. Prompted by the wave of absurd theatre there was a renaiscance of Icelandic playwrighting after 1960, but now there was a lasting change of balance in the overall repertoire so that today between 40% and 50% of the repertoire is made up of new plays. The breakthrough came with Hard-a-Port (1962) by Jökull Jakobsson (1933-78), which ran for three successive seasons. Here was a writer with a fine ear for local, everyday speech of common people, supplemented with impressionistic lyricism and a uniquely nostalgic brand of tragi-comedy. Jakobsson wrote 20 plays and towards the end of his life it was generally expected that new Icelandic plays would draw the greatest number of spectators each season. In 1960 the independent theatre Gríma was establised, which was partial to the new wave of playwrighting. Gríma was to last until 1971 and produced the first plays by playwrights such as Oddur Björnsson (b. 1932) and Svava Jakobsdottir (b. 1930). Björnsson's early plays are absurd satires and fantasies, unabashedly theatrical one acters, including The Spider (1963) and Ten Vartiations (1968), while Jakobsdóttir's debut, What's in the Cornerstone' (1971), is a documentary drama about women's position in society. The National Theatre produced first plays by Gudmundur Steinsson (1925-1996) who came into prominence during the 1970s, Birgir Engilberts (1946-1999) and others. The National also produced most of Oddur Björnsson's subsequent plays, such as Dance Play (1974) and the monumental The 13th Crusade (1993), where the dramatic potential of Björnsson's theatricalism began to be fully realized. The National Theatre had success with new plays throughout the 1970s and 1980s, most notably in the plays of Gudmundur Steinsson, with fine productions of his biting allegorical satires of modern lifestyles, Viva Espana (1976) and A Brief Respite (1978). The theatre at this time also made forays into the international scene with productions seen at important festival such as BITEF and Avignon. Meanwhile the RTC established Kjartan Ragnarsson as well as Birgir Sigurdsson (b. 1937), whose realistic plays, including A Day of Hope (1987), are essentially a critique of values. The National Theatre gradually seemed to lose the knack for effectively producing new work, with the exception of plays by the prolific Ólafur Haukur Simonarsson (b. 1947). During 1990s, The National Theatre again seemed destined to take the lead in developing new work, but by 2000 the presentation of new work by the NT is incidental and classical works and adaptations have prominence. In 1969 The Theatre Workshop emerged, creating two productions before disbanding in 1971, where the writer had been all but disposed of. These productions broke new ground in stressing the importance of the actor's means of expression through body and voice, over the writer's craft, and by a probing return to myth and folklore motifs, the traditional sources of Icelandic theatre. The Theatre Workshop thus signified a return to basics, imaginatively making use of the ideal of a "poor theatre". Individuals from this "Workshop-nucleus" established The Peoples' Theatre in 1976, which began as a radical left-wing touring theatre aiming at a working class audience and included playwright Bödvar Gudmundsson (b. 1939), whose epic political allegory Blind Man's Buff (1977) played in a style reminiscient of commedia dell'arte complete with half masks was an outstanding success. Despite great energy and dedication to their ideals The Peoples' Theatre was soon faced with severe financial difficulties. Consequently the theatre was reestablished in Reykjavík in 1978, where there was an easier access to audiences. The Peoples' Theatre closed down in 1993. The short-lived Little Theatre Company, loosely connected to the RTC, emerged in 1968 and stressed group efforts at creating drama. Among their productions was Óli the Rock Musical (1971), an anarchistic look at modern society and its conditioning of the individual. Several actor-playwrights emerged from this group, most notably Kjartan Ragnarsson (b. 1945), a leading playwright during the 1970s and 1980s, who directs his own plays and adaptations. The 1970s produced further examples of theatre created by ensembles, often aimed at special audiences and played in schools, factories, etc. The notable production in this vein came from The National Theatre with Inuk (1974), created from anthropological concerns with the fate of primitive societies of hunters and aimed at primary schools. The production eventually became a favourite at numerous theatre festivals and was seen in 19 countries. The most significant development of the 1980s was the profusion of new theatre groups and a new scenography, which may even be called a revolution. Designers are now far more involved on all levels of the concept of a production than ever before. New materials have been brought in and anything is permissable in order to underline a feature, theme or nature of a work of theatre. This has helped bring out and stress a variety of acting styles that may sometimes even be heightened and productions can even be said to be conceptual rather than realistic. Among the new theatre groups of the 1980s were Fru Emilia Theatre, led by Gudjon P. Pedersen (b. 1957), and The Egg Theatre, which was originally a one man theatre established in 1981 by actor Vidar Egggertsson (b. 1954) intent on exploring the true nature of the relationship between actor and audience. The Egg Theatre since produced further one man shows as well as new plays experimenting with the nature of dramatic form, most significantly Árni Ibsen's (b. 1948) The Turtle Gets There Too (1984). He has since written several successful plays, including the acclaimed Heaven, a Schizophrenic Comedy (1995). Playwrights who emerged during the 1990s include Hrafnhildur Hagalin (b. 1965) and Thorvaldur Thorsteinsson (b. 1962). The most important new independent theatres of the 1990s were The Hafnarfjördur Theatre and The Möguleikhusid Children's Theatre, both of which only produce specially commissioned work from contemporary playwrights and continue doing so. Another 1990s phenomenon is the rapid rise and fall of a 'new theatrical giant', The Icelandic Theatre, which made a name for itself by highly successful musical productions and aimed at securing funding through the private sector. Failing this, the theatre was declared bankrupt in 2002. The latest independent theatre is Vesturport, established by young actors in 2002. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century theatre became the most popular form of entertainment in Iceland. At that time there was very little else by way of amusement, but theatre has retained this status to this day. Although attendance dropped significantly with the advent of television in 1966 and 67, the number of spectators attending all the theatres still today outnumbers the number of inhabitants in the country. The National Theatre, The Reykjavík Theatre Company, The Akureyri Theatre Company, The Icelandic Opera, The Icelandic Dance Company and several independent theatres such as The Hafnarfjördur Theatre and the Möguleikusid Children's Theatre all receive subsidy from official sources, either the state or town councils. |
