Árbæjarskóli and Fellaskóli advance to Skrekkur finals
The second semifinal night of Skrekkur 2025 took place at the Reykjavík City Theater last night, Nov. 4. 264 young people in Reykjavík performed original stage pieces and displayed a wide range of talents on stage.
The themes centered on what we fear and the pressure of expectations.
Árbæjarskóli advanced to the finals with their performance "5:00," which explores the idea that what we fear isn't necessarily so frightening. Fellaskóli also advanced to the finals with their performance "Pressure Wave,” (I. Þrýstingsbylgja) which explores the pressure of trying to meet others' expectations.
Nine primary schools competed last night: Árbæjarskóli, Fellaskóli, Hlíðaskóli, Klébergsskóli, Landakotsskóli, Laugalækjarskóli, Víkurskóli, Vogaskóli and Ölduselsskóli.
A total of 742 students from 25 schools are participating in Skrekkur this year. All performances are available on the UngRUV.is website. The cover photo shows Árbæjarskóli's performance.
