02/06/2008 :: 'Terje Vigen' is a story based on a true character and true events that happened during the Napoleonic war in 1809. The Norwegian Terje bravely rows across the sea, sneaking through a blockade of war ships to save his family from starvation. He nearly succeeds, but gets captured, and his world changes forever...
‘Terje Vigen’ is a new extravagant one-man multi-media-musical. A newly produced Film is integrated as part of the set portraying the life of Vigen. A powerful and haunting new score by Norwegian composer Kjell-Ole Haune, together with an outstanding one-man performance, takes the audience on an emotional roller-coaster ride through Vigen’s dramatic life.
