Christian Lollike: Anders Behring Breivik

Copenhagen S Cafe Teatret Dept: The production of Manifest 2083 by Copenhagen s Cafe Teatret will open in Copenhagen in about seven months, and is an attempt to investigate the political mindset of this man, explains Christian Lollike , the artistic director of the theatre company, according to The Star. At first everybody thought it was a terror attack by radical Muslim extremists, then we realized it was a young Norwegian man. The questions manifested immediately: Why did he do it? How could this happen? An avant-garde Danish director and playwright has triggered ire and condemnation in some parts of Europe with his decision to mount a theatrical production about the manifesto written by Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who killed 77 people in Utoya and Oslo last summer. I was, of course, deeply shocked by the tragedy, Lollike wrote in an email to the Star. And it has left a scar inside me, which has compelled me to try to understand what happened.
