Spring 2018 I've performed in and made the music for the theatre piece, Begjær under almene (Desire under the elms) at the National Theatre in Oslo. Using drums, Ableton Live, piano, my voice and synths. I'm very happy about this opportunity and the great reviews the music received, from amongst others Mona Levin of Aftenposten.
