Life on Code 6

Life on Code 6 (2011) is a theatre production by Blendwerk. Life on Code 6 is the story about XXX and her daughter XXX who live in hiding because of their violent abuser. It is the first New Year's Eve in a new home.

Code 6 is the strictest kind of secret address there is in Norway. It is only granted when life and health are in danger. Living on Code 6 means that one's personal information is classified and that only a few persons with security clearance know one's identity and address. Experience shows that this is not always foolproof protection.

The script for Life on Code 6 is based on real-life stories and experiences.

At the webpage of Blendwerk the following, among other things, is written about Life on Code 6:

"We call it noise; domestic violence, family trouble, now they make a racket again over there. Yes, it is noisy. Violence is often loud. Bruises and wounds. Injuries. Some heal, others don't. And some die."
