Fúsi: A life’s journey

Fúsi: a life's journey is a documentary play about Sigfús Sveinbjörn Svanbergsson. In the play, Fúsi reviews his life and selected scenes from his diverse life´s journey are transformed into scenes and songs with the help of actors and singers.

Fúsi is a humorist, a football fan, an actor, a singer and an artist of life who reminds us that life is always worth living, even if sometimes it is difficult. The obstacles in Fúsi's life have strengthened him and encouraged him to live life to the fullest with his disability and enjoy every single day. Sometimes, however, life experiences are of such a nature that it will never be possible to fully overcome them, no matter how positive and strong a person is

The play is based on interviews with Fúsi, which his uncle Agnar Jón who is also the director of the show conducted with him during the covid epidemic. The genesis of the play is therefore the relationship between the cousins Fúsi and Agnar and their time together.

The play premiered in the Reykjavík City Theater on November 17th, 2023, and is a collaboration between the performing arts producer Monochrome, Art Without Borders art festival due to the 20th anniversary year of 2023, and the Reykjavík City Theater. The work is tourable. For more information contact the shows producer Davíð Freyr Thorunnarson.
