About the presentation of Lars Norén’s work at the Swedish Theatre Biennial in 2007
"It wasn’t only Berglund’s fine production that left one wanting to see more of Norén’s theatre. A seminar paper on the playwright, delivered by the young Swedish researcher and film maker Per Zetterfalk, also heightened interest in the playwright. Focusing on the writer’s artistic method, and in particular the process of producing his 2003 play Kyla [Cold], the presentation included excerpts from Zetterfalk’s documentary film Kall [Norén’s Drama], which explores Norén’s modus operandi. In addition to providing some fascinating insights into the dramatist’s complex yet robust and uncompromising method, Zetterfalk’s presentation and the ensuing discussion touched upon an extraordinary, cataclysmic episode in Norén’s career.

According to Zetterfalk, this episode [7:3] prompted soul-searching in Norén, and a reappraisal of the limits of his artistic method. Although Zetterfalk’s seminar was too short, at just one hour, it made for the kind of festival discussion which helps to deepen and enliven the interest of the many and diverse delegates to an event such as the Swedish Theatre Biennial. For the non-Swedes, in particular, it whetted the appetite for both more of Norén’s drama and a full viewing of Zetterfalk’s documentary."
