Rødlista

This is a touching, raw and funny performance about belonging and exclusion. The performance consists of three monologues and four performers in close ensemble play.

The style is direct and spoken, and the text is enhanced by original music performed live by the composer.

The text is based on research and interviews with young people over several years, but appears as fiction on stage. For anyone who is, soon to be, has been or occasionally feels as if they are 15 years old.

"Digging a cave underground and simply staying there. That's the solution. It has to be in the forest. I think about what I'm going to take with me and what the door should be like. A hatch down to the cave. The hatch should have a lock and be hidden under spruce branches. A chain lock so you can always lock it."
