On the occasion of the Bergen premiere of theatre group Susie Wang’s horror theatre production Mumiebrun, André Eiermann, Associate Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Bergen, will give a lecture on their work. The group is known both for their surprises, and for their predilection for eggs. Shortly before the premiere of their sixth work Heavy Breathers the title changed, and in their fifth work The Look the museum guard from their second work Mumiebrun was originally supposed to return. But things always seem to turn out differently than expected with Susie Wang, and the surprise that hatched from the egg in their debut The Hum was just the first example of this.
