East of the sun and West of the moon comes a tale of finding your courage and staying true to yourself.

Nocturne is a new original musical created by composer and lyricist Hedda Rustad Carlsen, writer and art director Hannah Debansi and writer Leah Sperring. The musical is rooted in Norwegian folklore and folk music, filled with puppetry and beautiful set design, ready to transport you into the fairy-tale forest.

Join our protagonist Solveig as she delves into the forest of ancient fairy tales, encountering familiar characters and dark mysteries. We invite you to get lost in the magical worlds and fables we often forget as we grow older.
