Adda is a country girl and nature lover. Being a farmers daughter and a successful sheep whisperer, her knowledge in the field of agriculture and horticulture knows no limits. Nobody knows how old she is, but rumor has it she knows the way to the fountain of youth, so her age might just as well be close to the age of our volcano. When she’s not crawling into volcanos or dancing at the top of a mountain, she raps in Icelandic Sign Language, directs theatre performances and performs improv.

Hilmir is an actor and a playwriter who loves to spend his spare time inside the volcano. He knows all the crazy stories of the locals and can put them into acting on the go. In 2010 he graduated from the University of Arts. Since then he has gained experience in acting both on stage and in films. He has worked for all the major theaters in Iceland and in 2019 a film will be released where plays the head role. His big dream is to become fluent in Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese). We wish him well.

Sólveig is an award-winning actress and one of Iceland’s best-regarded linguists. When she is not traveling the world with her beloved friends and family, you’ll find her chin deep in mud, desecrating the Icelandic flag, or engaged in similarly outrageous behaviors, all in the name of art. Yes, that woman is truly one of a kind.
