Editor Marie Nerland writes the following about Ferdsskriveren* (The Flight Recorder):
"The title Ferdsskriveren refers to flight data recorders (FDRs) or "black boxes", registering everything that happens in a cockpit during a flight. These boxes digitally register all that happens and hence they eliminate the opportunity to manipulate what has happened. The idea of our flight data recorder is to provide an opportunity to create another form of documentation, for which the keywords are all thematically related to the journey; risk, landing, take off, turbulence and being underway.
Ferdsskriveren makes it possible to rewind and forward, draw out fragments and other voices. BIT Teatergarasjen and the editor wanted the content in the box to represent artists and a theatre working in exciting zones, through which the journey always holds a certain risk."
