Project Overview
Lykkenborg
In early November 2017 the members of Det Ferösche Compagnie will meet to do prep-work and devicing for the next DFC project with the work title "Lykkenborg". "Lykkenborg" refers to the extraordinary building that a man called Lykken built all by himself close to the lake between Miðvág and Sørvág on the island Vágoy in the Faroe Islands. "Lykkenborg" means Happy Castle in English, however, whether or how "happy" will be part of the theatre performance that DFC will create remains to be seen.
Rain
The inspiration behind the theatre piece REGN dates back to a myth from the middle ages in the Faroe Island about a young couple whose relationship is challenged by strict religious beliefs and harsh living conditions. In DFC’s REGN the story is set in the 1950s and combines live music, theatre and dance in a poetic and nostalgic performance set in the cold rocks of the Faroe Islands. The performance combines a sense of isolation and survival in the young couple’s story where naïve love turns into naïve sacrifice.
Operation Valentine
Operation Valentine (OV) is the name of the British invasion of the Faroe Islands on the 11 April 1940, and in 2015 Det Ferösche Compagnie made a new performance to mark the 75th anniversary of the invasion. The aim of the performance is to give an artistic portrey of the influence that the Birtish invasion had on Faroese culture. The vast number of British soldiers brought with them new and modern culture, different traditions, new dances, language, music and products. The invasion also had great political impact on Faroese society in terms of encouraging a national movement and it was instrumental in initiating a referendum on Faroese independency after World War II. The performance presents the artistic account of Det Ferösche Compagnie of this significant period in Faroese history.
