“It’s a piece that actually reflects the immigrant experience of coming to this country and what it takes also to be an artist immigrant in this country,” Pálína explains of the production — the company’s fourth in as many years.

Þorvaldur S. Helgason writes: Ewa Marcinek and Pálína Jónsdóttir are building “Djöfulsins sinillingur” performance on the shared experience of going through the application system as a foreigner in a new country and fictional stories.

The international cast of Djöfulsins snillingur consists of five professional actors from five different countries.

A new black comedy by Reykjavík Ensemble portrays the clash between an artist's identity and an immigrant's reality.
