INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF Chamber of Commerce WEEKEND SUGGESTIONS Week 39

HI EVERYBODY! New climate exhibition at the Ski Museum Be Prepared has a playful approach to the environment and the climate, and is angled specifically towards winter, snow and extreme weather. In the exhibition you can face a heavy storm, predict the skiing conditions in a hundred years and see what you can do to help the environment on a daily basis. If you manage to guess how long it takes for two tons of ice to melt, you could win a ride on the Kollensvevet zipline. Be Prepared has been created in cooperation with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. The exhibition is open every day at the Holmenkollen Ski Museum. Photo: Skiforeningen

THEATRE & SHOW Brand - My God is Storm, National theatre, Until 11th October at 20.00 Brand is one of Henrik Ibsen's longer epic dramas, written 150 years ago this year. In the adaptation of the German director, theatre manager and writer Armin Petras, the story and number of roles are stripped down. The language is modernised to make the interpersonal relations – and also the humour – more obvious. In this production, director Runar Hodne suggests a setting in a nonconformist church in a Norwegian province, characterised by religion, nationalism and country music. God, country and the dream Photo: Øyvind Eide of America are central ideals – this is a place where idealism and fundamentalism can coexist and flourish.
