Torgeir Wethal<\/p>\n

Dear friend,<\/p>\n
I write on behalf of Odin Teatret.<\/p>\n
On Sunday 27 June, 7:45 a.m., Torgeir Wethal passed away. I met him as a seventeen year-old boy in 1964 and together we founded Odin Teatret in Oslo, in Norway, together with three other youngsters. Torgeir was waiting for his eighteenth birthday to seek admission to the theatre school, but he didn’t hesitate to believe in and be loyal to our group which, when started, seemed a momentary amateurish enterprise.<\/p>\n
In 46 years of activity, Torgeir became an actor, a theatre and a film director, always with our group. His film with Ryszard Cieslak on training is a unique testimony about the innovative strength of this practice which had been rediscovered by Jerzy Grotowski. Torgeir’s films on the training, the performances, the journeys and the barters of the Odin show the salient stages of a group that delineated new fields for the action of the theatre. He participated in all the performances of the Odin, often as assistant director. Until May 2010, despite being already weakened by his illness, he rehearsed our new production, The Chronic Life.<\/p>\n
In November 2009 he was diagnosed with a malignant lung tumor that quickly spread. We want to give this news to you who didn’t know him. For you who knew him, it is a fragment of your life that bids you farewell.<\/p>\n

Caro amico,<\/p>\n
Ti scrivo a nome di tutto l’Odin Teatret.<\/p>\n
Domenica 27 giugno alle 7,45 di mattina \u00e8 morto Torgeir Wethal. L’avevo incontrato appena diciassettenne nel 1964 e insieme avevamo fondato a Oslo, in Norvegia, l’Odin Teatret. Era in attesa di compiere diciott’anni per presentarsi alla scuola teatrale, ma non esit\u00f2 a credere e rimanere leale al gruppo che all’inizio sembrava un’impresa amatoriale passeggera.<\/p>\n
In questi 46 anni di attivit\u00e0, Torgeir divenne attore, regista teatrale e cinematografico, sempre nel nostro gruppo. Il suo film con Ryszard Cieslak sul training \u00e8 una testimonianza unica sulla forza innovativa di questa pratica riscoperta da Grotowski. I suoi film sul training, gli spettacoli, i viaggi e i baratti dell’Odin riportano alla vita tappe salienti di un gruppo che ha delineato nuovi campi dell’agire teatrale. Aveva partecipato a tutti gli spettacoli dell’Odin, anche come aiuto regista. Fino al maggio 2010, nonostante fosse gi\u00e0 debilitato dalla malattia, ha lavorato alle prove del nuovo spettacolo dell’Odin, La vita cronica.<\/p>\n
Nel novembre 2009 gli fu diagnosticato un tumore maligno al polmone che si \u00e8 diffuso rapidamente in tutto il corpo. Vogliamo dare questa notizia a te che non lo conoscevi. Per te che l’hai conosciuto, \u00e8 un frammento della tua vita che ti dice addio.<\/p>\n

Querido amigo,<\/p>\n
Te escribo en nombre de todo el Odin Teatret.<\/p>\n
El domingo 27 de junio a las 7.45 de la ma\u00f1ana falleci\u00f3 Torgeir Wethal. Lo conoc\u00ed cuando ten\u00eda apenas 17 a\u00f1os en 1964 y juntos fundamos en Oslo, en Noruega, el Odin Teatret. Estaba por cumplir dieciocho a\u00f1os para poder ingresar en la escuela teatral, pero no dud\u00f3 de creer y permanecer leal al grupo que al comienzo parec\u00eda un proyecto diletante pasajero.<\/p>\n
Durante estos 46 a\u00f1os de actividad Torgeir se vuelve actor, director teatral y cinematogr\u00e1fico, siempre en nuestro grupo. Su film con Ryszard Cieslak sobre el training es un testimonio \u00fanico de la fuerza de innovaci\u00f3n de esta pr\u00e1ctica redescubierta por Grotowski. Su film sobre el training, los espect\u00e1culos, los viajes y trueques del Odin muestran los puntos sobresalientes de un grupo que ha delineado nuevos campos de acci\u00f3n teatral. Ha participado en todos los espect\u00e1culos del Odin, incluso como asistente de direcci\u00f3n. Hasta mayo del 2010, a pesar de estar debilitado por la enfermedad, ha trabajado en los ensayos del nuevo espect\u00e1culo del Odin, La vida cr\u00f3nica.<\/p>\n
En noviembre del 2009 le diagnosticaron un tumor maligno en el pulm\u00f3n, que se disemin\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente. Queremos darte esta noticia a ti que no lo conoc\u00edas. Para ti que lo has conocido es un fragmento de tu vida que te dice adi\u00f3s.<\/p>\n

K\u00e6re ven,<\/p>\n
Jeg skriver til dig p\u00e5 vegne af Odin Teatret.<\/p>\n
S\u00f8ndag den 27. juni kl. 7.45 d\u00f8de Torgeir Wethal. Jeg traf Torgeir i 1964, da han kun var 17 \u00e5r gammel, og sammen grundlagde vi, og tre andre, unge mennesker, Odin Teatret i Oslo i Norge. Torgeir ventede p\u00e5 sin 18 \u00e5rs f\u00f8dselsdag for at kunne s\u00f8ge om optagelse p\u00e5 teaterskolen, men han t\u00f8vede ikke med at tro p\u00e5 og v\u00e6re loyal mod vores gruppe, som, da den startede, forekom at v\u00e6re et midlertidigt amat\u00f8rforetagende.<\/p>\n
I l\u00f8bet af disse 46 \u00e5rs virksomhed blev Torgeir skuespiller og teater- og filminstrukt\u00f8r, hele tiden inden for vores gruppe. Hans film om tr\u00e6ning med Ryszard Cieslak er et unikt vidnesbyrd om denne praksis’ banebrydende styrke, som Jerzy Grotowski havde genopdaget. Torgeirs film om Odins tr\u00e6ning, forestillinger, rejser og byttehandler viser de vigtigste udviklingstrin i en gruppe, som har afstukket nye omr\u00e5der for teatervirksomhed. Han deltog i alle Odins forestillinger, ofte som assistentinstrukt\u00f8r. Selvom han allerede var m\u00e6rket af sin sygdom, deltog han i pr\u00f8verne p\u00e5 vores ny forestilling, Det kroniske liv, indtil maj 2010.<\/p>\n
I november 2009 fik han konstateret en ondartet lungekr\u00e6ft, som hurtigt spredte sig. Vi \u00f8nsker at give denne information til dig, som ikke kendte ham. For dig, som kendte ham, er det et fragment af dit liv, som tager afsked med dig.<\/p>\n
