Breiðholtsskóli and Klébergsskóli reach Skrekkur final

Breiðholtsskóli and Klébergsskóli have secured places in the final of Skrekkur, a student performance competition, after the first semi-final at Borgarleikhús, a theatre, on Monday, mbl.is reports.

Three semi-final evenings are being held, with the next two scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. A total of 793 young people from 26 schools are taking part, and performances by eight schools will reach the final on November 16.

The students create their own performances using music, dance, theatre and performance art. Some include original songs. They also handle the technical work, costumes and makeup, while adults support the productions.

Skrekkur is a joint project involving Reykjavík’s schools and leisure centres, the city’s School and Leisure Department, RÚV and Borgarleikhús.
