Kan den fly* (Can it fly?)
In the performance for children named Kan den fly* (Can it fly?) (2002) produced by Klomadu Theatre Klausa and Agora have sought refuge in a loft they will not leave unless it is to get food. In the attic they work on constructing flying mechanisms. Kan den fly? is a performance about friendship and challenges, to mobilise the courage to meet the world and to meet it as the weird person one really is. Who is normal, by the way?
*Not yet translated into English. The title within parentheses is the Norwegian title's literal meaning.

In Kan den fly?* (Can it fly?) by Klomadu Theatre a damaged bird one day crashes into the attic where Klausa and Agora are. From now on all their actions are centred around helping the bird to get back on its wings, something they realise in inventive ways. But through helping someone else they also have, without realising, helped themselves. As the bird gets well and flies back into the world, the two take each others’ hands and leave the attic.
Kan den fly? by Klomadu Theatre was selected for the festival Assitej in Kristiansand in 2004. It has also been performed as a visiting production in The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater) in Oslo, in the university colleges of Vestfold and Hedmark, and it has toured Hedmark with The Cultural Rucksack.
Kan den fly? was supported by Arts Council Norway, The Audio Visual Fund, the county of Hedmark and the municipality of Hamar.

Espen Solli, 17.12.2002, Hamar Dagblad [Hamar]:
"A bird flies through the window where Klausa (Karen Høie) and Agora (Nina Engelund) are, two lightly confused women who prefer to stay indoors in an old attic, where they work on building flying mechanisms. The severely damaged bird becomes the centre of their attention and all creative measures are taken into use to get it back on its wings. (...) Klausa and Agora follow the bird’s example and dare to follow it out into the world, despite Agora’s fear of monsters and people she doesn’t know."
