“Stories of isolation and searching for the way out”Heidi Dahlsveen brings a storytelling performance about the unmasked isolation.
Isolation is a motif that can be often found in Norwegian folk tales, and this performance wonders why someone would want to isolate themselves, what happens during an isolation, and how to get out of it, without losing face.
The audience will hear several stories, traditional and personal, intertwined together. The storyteller comes from a small island in Norway and has grown up in isolation herself. The nearest neighbour was an old man married to a witch who turned out to be a fairy, and the old man on the other hand… Well, come see the show to find out!
