FakirSkolens Siste Eksamen* (The Last Fakir School Exam 2)

FakirSkolens Siste Eksamen* (The Last Fakir School Exam) is the final production of the sideshow trilogy of Pain Solution. The frame is the same as it has been (FakirSkolens Eksamen/The Fakir School Exam, 2007 and FakirSkolens Eksamen 2/The Fakir School Exam 2, 2008), but the content is new.

Those who have seen the former exam productions by the fakir school FakirSkolen will be able to see the development the students have gone through during the three year long education project, and will again be given the opportunity to see Pain Solution present a modern sideshow with innovative interpretations of classic sideshow acts.

The production is led by The HeadMaster. He presents his students The Maniac and The Princess of Scars, who according to the curriculum are tested in an exam during which they have to present their abilities to the headmaster and the audience.

FakirSkolens Siste Eksamen is a different theatre production presenting impressive abilities within a scenic frame. The reality aspect is even stronger in this production than the two previous and the fakir school project is summarised with an emphasis on the biographies of the performers as a foundation for their characters, plus the impact the studies have had on each of them.

FakirSkolens Siste Eksamen* (The Last Fakir School Exam 2) by Pain Solution was supported by the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
