Forebedraget
Forebedraget by The Puppetry Company Kattas Figurteater Ensemble seemingly is a lecture about the historic development of puppetry in Norway, by university lecturer Anne Helgesen, but it soon turns to revolve around the middle aged woman’s life crises mixed with her fascination for the subject of puppetry.
The title is hard to translate, as it is a pun on the words Foredraget meaning the lecture and bedraget meaning deceit. The content of it would make up in a title along the line of The deceiving lecture.
