Olav Neuland’s Corrida from 1982 has the initial makings of a chamber drama – a lonely island, three people and a herd of animals. Man against wild nature, his urges, fears, and desires. Osvald Rass, a man in his sixties, his wife Ragne who is about half his age and full of life, and her ex-lover Tarmo, have reached a decisive point in their lives where important choices need to be made. The isolation of a lonely island sets the characters face to face with each other, depriving them of social safety measures. It should help them to evolve eternally, but whatever they have brought to the island is of no help any longer. The rudimentary animality that manifests itself in various ways in this situation, strongly challenges the habitual rationale.
