Bergen National Opera and Borealis present a sonic voyage into the shared psychosis known as 'folie à deux', where a delusion is transmitted from one person to another.

Songs are woven together for two singers and a specially created electro-magnetic harp in this modern folk tale performed against a backdrop of responsive light and sound.

Directed by Frederic Wake-Walker, Folie à Deux is a collaboration between British composer Emily Hall and Icelandic lyricist Sjón and features experimental jazz artist Sofia Jernberg and the tenor Finnur Bjarnason.
