“When I think of my dad, I always imagine him singing soft songs into my ear before I fall asleep. Softly and quietly. When I dream about my dad, he did it. Many times.”

In the Crooners project, NIE has embarked on an investigation of fathers and sons. Through conversations and interviews, they have delved into this material via Homer and Ibsen to examine the relationships, conversations and silence.

Theatre NIE regularly visits Palac Akropolis with their work. It is one of the most critically acclaimed international theatre ensembles of today, dedicated mainly to work for youth and adults.
