Cultural news
Here’s some news for our Norwegian readers, and I know we have a few.

A friend of mine has been involved in producing a film, a new, full costume production of Hedda Gabler. It’s been some time in the making but it is now having its world premiere on September 8^th. There are, I believe, about 150 tickets to the red carpet event available for members of the public. The organisers asked me to mention:

It’s on 8^th Sep 6pm (18:00hrs) Vika Cinema, Ruseløkkveien 14, 0251 Oslo, Norway
Cost of ticket (only 150 available) 119.25 Norwegian krone.
We’re asking people to dress appropriately for the occasion (black tie, but at least suits).

This world premiere screening is being held in association with the Henrik Ibsen Museum and the International Ibsen Festival.

There you go, if you are in or around Oslo and fancy a world premier film screening then here’s your chance. I’ve not seen the film (I’ve never read the play, shame) but I hear it looks very good and the images I’ve seen from it certainly make it look well worth seeing.

Remember, if you are on Symi, you have some free events this week you can attend if you want to:

Thursday 18^th – Traditional Dodecanese night with lyre, lute and toumperleki
Friday 19^th – A concert with the band, ‘Master Tempo’
Saturday 20^th – The tradition of Koukoumas
Sunday 21^st – Theatrical performance in the Symi dialect ‘Saint Avissinezos’

And the Nikos Psarros exhibition runs at the Cultural Centre until 20^th August.

Short and sweet!
