About the Marispelet at Rjukanfossen:

The Marispelet at Rjukanfossen is Telemark's Romeo and Juliet story, set on the edge of the ravine near Vemork and the Rjukanfossen waterfall. It is the most beautiful love story of the summer.

The Marispelet at Rjukanfossen truly is a drama on the edge of the abyss. Here, the audience witnesses the moving love story of the strong-willed Mari and the poor boy Øystein.

Actors and musicians perform alongside a large group of fantastic local amateurs, making this a “cultural bomb,” according to Telemark Arbeiderblad.

The music is beautiful, rooted in traditional folk music, and enhanced by exquisite singing from local folk musicians. The Mari Play at Rjukanfossen is a cultural event you cannot miss!
