Kafteinn Frábær – January 17 & 18 at Samkomuhúsið. NB in icelandic

Ævar Þór Benediktsson was nominated for Actor of the Year at the Gríman Awards for his performance, portraying more than 15 characters in this heartwarming and hilarious solo show.

Magnús never planned to become a father. Somehow, it just happened. Nor did he plan to become the superhero Kafteinn Frábær, but sometimes you have to make up stories when your children refuse to go to sleep.

At some point, however, the stories give way and reality bursts in…

Kafteinn Frábær is a solo performance about fatherhood, masculinity, grief, loss, and (of course) superheroes.
