VESTURPORT
Vesturport is Iceland's most innovative company of theatre artists which productions include London's West End hit of Rome and Juliet and George Buchner´s Woyzeck with original music composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis performed at the Barbican Centre.
Vesturports productions have won awards in Iceland and Russia and their productions have been performed in the UK, Germany, Finland and Russia, with many more countries and productions lined up in the near future.
From the birth of this creative collective, Vesturport has approached its projects with heuristic working methods resulting in various styles and forms of theatre. The aim is to find every projects own voice, style, time and space without forcing a play into a space where its story and characters will not be fully understood. In this way the ensemble will always be looking for different and provocative ways to present a story through dialogue and visuals with the raw and sincere force that drives the artists in the company.
While keeping this vision alive, the ensemble is always seeking new and exciting opportunities in a fast paced, ever changing cultural environment. The main goals being: Introducing theatre to a broader audience and explore new ways of modern theatre making.
Vesturport now emerges with it's first feature films in collaboration with film director Ragnar Bragason.
