The face of the road - Scenekunstbruket

Experience a coming-of-age story inspired by myths and fairy tales. We meet the boy who tries to put together pieces of a childhood characterized by addiction and neglect, while this story unfolds for the audience for the first time.

In The Way Its Face, we meet the boy in a home filled with love. But the father begins to change and the caring role gradually shifts from father to son, until the mother throws the father out. Then begins the boy's journey in search of his father. The northern Norwegian cityscape of Tromsø becomes an arena for a magical adventure that grows out of grief. We follow the boy who, in order to understand himself, must understand his father, who has almost become a mythical figure in his life. Along the way, Gutten has good helpers, including his little brother, a fat cat and his classmate Marte.
