My father and Angry man

´My father and Angry Man´ is a poetic and fairylike children’s opera with live music, addressing a difficult subject – the battered family. “Boy” is seven years old. He tells the story. About his dad who smiles like the apples on the table and his mom who laughs in the most exquisite dress, like a present tied with a ribbon. But it’s also the story about Angry Man, who lives inside daddy. And when Angry Man erupts, he hits, and shouts, and throws things so they break. And when he does so, the only thing to do is to hide as quickly and as far away as possible. Therefore, Boy decides to write a letter to the king. “Dear King. My dad is violent. Is it my fault?” The performance is based on the award-winning children’s book Sinna Mann (Angry Man) by Norwegian writer Gro Dahle, who describes what it is like to be a child with a father who cannot control his anger.
