*Role Reversal Backstage*

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 7, 2023, backstage at the theatre. It features the actors Martin Stokke Mathiessen and Lindy Larsson, having a good laugh. What’s funny about this moment is the role reversal. Usually, Martin is the one leaning against the wall, stretching before his big scenes, and Lindy watches him. But today, it’s the other way around! You can even spot the tiny tools in Martin’s hand, which add to the humor of the moment. It’s the little details that make backstage moments like this so memorable.

 The photo captures the relaxed vibe behind the scenes, where actors take time to laugh and unwind before stepping into character. The theatre is always buzzing with activity, and it’s moments like this, between the intensity of the performance, that really bring everyone together. You can feel the camaraderie and playful energy between Martin and Lindy, two seasoned actors who know how to balance professionalism with a bit of fun.

Backstage at the theatre is a unique place—props are scattered, costumes are hung up, and the quiet hum of preparation fills the air. This candid snapshot shows that even during the high-pressure environment of live theatre, there’s always room for a laugh.

This photo is special to me because it reminds me of the beautiful balance between work and play in the theatre world. Seeing Martin and Lindy share a laugh makes me appreciate the moments of connection we have, even in the busiest times. It’s these small, unscripted interactions that make working in theatre so rewarding.
