Main Article Content

Abstract

The Nordic Element, a multi-levelled concept, constitutes the metaphysics of Scandinavian life. As a signifier of the most dense sign system of theatre, this element enriches the semiosis of Norwegian theatre. This metaphysical element provides a new paradigm for understanding the prevalent patterns of postmodern theatrics of Norwegian drama. The ‘landscape dramaturgy’ through a ‘spatialized aesthetics’ has made it as one of the constituent elements of theatre that produces new structures of performance.
