Soirée: ‘Triggersystemet’(The Trigger system) - reading drama by Tore Vagn Lid (SOLD OUT)

At last year's festival, audiences were introduced to Tore Vagn Lid's reading drama ‘Triggersystemet’. This year there will be the world premiere of the second part of this fairytale universe. As a soirée - an evening party - we invite you to what Lid calls a co-creation. Lid will be joined by a top-notch team of actors and musicians when ‘The Trigger System’ opens, not only as a text, but also as a musical theatre work. In ‘The Trigger System’ we meet the Sender, or ‘Captain Noah’. Along with living insects and his mischievous homing pigeons, the aging, extinction-threatened scientist has retreated into a fairytale world, in order to save himself and the animals from the contemporary deluge of ever-new wars and crises. As an observer and captain, the Captain both examines and guides his chosen insects through an ingeniously equipped insect aquarium - a so-called vivarium. In a sea of drowned humans and rejected morals, stick insects, snails, woodlice and earwigs become both players and opponents in a philosophical mourning game between man in nature and nature in man.

The performance is in Norwegian.
