The story of Jens and his troubles with the two tooth trolls Karius and Bactus has entertained families for seventy years. The play is based on a Norwegian children’s novel written and illustrated by playwright Thorbjørn Egner and first published in 1949. The names Karius and Bactus are puns on Caries and Bacteria, the two main characters leading a luxurious life in Jens’ teeth, especially while Jens maintains his awful diet of white bread and syrup – and constantly fails to brush his teeth…! The play is approx. 45 min. long and is in Icelandic.

Their music is innovative and new, and their voices resonate through songs spanning 1500 years of history. M’ANAM (“My Soul” in the English language) came together for the first time in 2018. Formed from the interaction of members of the groups Olga Vocal Ensemble and the legendary Irish-based ANÚNA, they have a huge range of musical experiences, from Rock to Classical, Folk to Indie – but what excites them is the connections between the lands of Iceland and Ireland. Their songs and texts date back as far as the 9th century, through to music created by the singers themselves and Irish composer Michael McGlynn.
