In Tøff.Naken.* (Tough. Naked) by Teaterfabrikken processed interviews with youth from Varanger was the basis for a new circus inspired production by, with and for youth in a fishmeal warehouse measuring 2500 square meters.

Tøff.Naken. was about life as youth, growing up, love, death. With a professional percussionist, actor and 13 youths onstage. The empty warehouse in the herring oil factory in Vadsø and the Wharf of the then closed ore mine in Kirkenes made the backdrop for the site-specific performance.

"Some of the rawest, most rocked we have seen for a long time. Talent, timing and rhythm aplenty, and the whole thing felt like a cannon ball in the stomach."
