'Egil's Saga' is a powerful work
"Let me read your unspoken words," repeats Asgerd (Katia Asche '04), with increasing frequency as Kristjan Thorgeirsson's adaptation of "Egil's Saga, Depictions of a Viking Poet," makes its way through eight episodic sections. Indeed, the play's impact resides in what remains unsaid -- like a Hemingway novel, the emotional intensity is delivered between the lines. Through concentrated choreography, chilling string accompaniment and a set of deceptively simple appearance, Thorgeirsson's senior fellowship project is as mysterious and powerful as the sea that haunts its central character.
