goro tronsmo

The concept of the performance is based on a mirroring of the audience and the social situation. The project is shown for kids age 13-15, and thus the homogenous psychological liminal stage of the audience becomes part of the piece.

The project uses realism in a manner that reflects on the conventions of film. This allows the audience to enter the performance in a unframed way. The border of the situation inside the play and the actual social situation in the room blurs, and the kids' reactions to what they see pushes the border of what is memory of a story being told and what is situations they have actually experienced.

The project has at times caused teachers to be ragingly mad, and school-nurses to run after us for more advice on how to get the kids into talking like they did during and after the show.
