A journey into the unknown, in which space, time and direction are uncertain. Stilk (Stem), Myggen (Mosquito) and Skrot (Junk) move into a different world of incomprehensible connections. There is string, blankets and a cake for grandpa in the wagon, because he is the one they are looking for. The night is dark, but he has to be out there, hasn't he?
"The journey to Ugri-La-Bek" is a performance which with poetic lightness and a sublime seriousness tells of the courage and will to act needed to walk out the door and into the unknown.
The performance is produced in cooperation with Nordland Visual Theatre and supported by the Arts Council Norway and The Audio Visual Fund.
