The equivalent figure the previous two festivals were 6946 with an occupancy of 73 percent (2012) and 4685 with an occupancy of 68 percent (2009).
– I am extremely proud of the 2016 Bergman Festival. An international theater festival is an opportunity to experience and reflect themselves in theaters from other countries. It is important that, as a national offer the public more and different perspectives and that through exchanges and collaborations across borders contribute to the artistic development that will both audience and stage artists benefit. Now we take at the Royal Dramatic batch to the next Bergman Festival in 2018, the year when Ingmar Bergman would have turned 100 this year, says theater manager Eirik Stubø.
