Nocturne Musical

East of the sun and west of the moon comes a tale of finding your courage and staying true to yourself.

Nocturne is a new original musical created by composer and lyricist Hedda Rustad Carlsen, writer and art director Hannah Debansi and writer Leah Sperring. The musical is rooted in Norwegian folklore and folk music, inviting you on a mysterious and inspiring journey.

Join our protagonist Solveig as she delves into the forest of ancient fairytales, encountering familiar characters and dark mysteries. The challenges are many, and the monsters are lurking. We invite you to get lost in the magical worlds and fables we often forget as we grow older. Nocturne is a show filled with music, puppetry and physical theatre, ready to transport you into the fairytale forest.
