"Litaland" is Striking, as Often Happens

The play "Litaland," by Leikhópurinn Lotta, is currently being restaged a decade after its initial premiere. The reviewer notes that the decision to revive a successful production is a wise one, ensuring that a new generation of children can experience it for the first time, while also offering a nostalgic revisit for those who saw it ten years ago.

Despite the lighthearted nature of a children's play, "Litaland" tackles profound and often difficult societal issues. The reviewer draws a parallel between the play's themes and the current state of the world, mentioning the plight of refugees forced to flee their homes, individuals denied the right to love who they choose, and those who face discrimination based on their skin color.

While the reviewer initially sets up a comparison to global affairs, they clarify that the piece is, in fact, about the play itself. The production is described as having "good energy and presence," with the performance characterized by "great joy and passion."

The article, published in Morgunblaðið, indicates that further details about "Litaland" are available to subscribers. The piece is presented as a way to support Icelandic media and encourage continued storytelling.
