Den hemmelige bakgården

The secret backyard takes place in an urban space, where architecture and surroundings become strongly co-creative elements in the performance.

Two friends, one brave and one anxious, and an enigmatic lady that no one knows. The mysterious lady makes mysterious and beautiful music that makes things happen.

The two friends find a doll's house. The house is exactly like the real house they're standing next to, so similar that you'd almost think you'd end up in the little house if you went into the big one. But that's not possible, is it? Or does it?

The performance makes use of the surroundings as a playing area, and takes the audience into an imaginative fantasy about the spaces that surround them. Playing with the relationship between big and small, scary and exciting, reality and fantasy is central.

The performance is supported by Telemark County, Arts Council Norway, Fund for Performing Artists and Porsgrunn Municipality.
