By juxtaposing seemingly unrelated fringes of society, Magnús Thorlacius crafts theatrical performances commenting on the major societal issues of our times from an unexpected point of view. All from personal solo performances to postdramatic concept pieces, avant-garde adaptations of classic literary works to provocative original stageplays.
Magnús graduated from ‘Theatre and performance making’ at The Icelandic University of the Arts in 2022 and is currently working as a playwright, director and light designer in Reykjavík.
His most recent projects include ‘Í fréttum er þetta helst’, a theatrical research about televised news performed at The Reykjavík City Theatre and ‘Lónið’, a post dramatic exploration of late stage capitalism in Iceland performing at Tjarnarbíó, Reykjavík.
