Where do you start when preparing to kill a monster without a heart inside his body? To make sure to be immortal, the monster has hid his heart in a secret place. The Ashlad and the prince must be smart, wise, resourceful, flirtatious and cunning to get the troll to reveal where it is hidden.

Where are our feelings and emotions and in which body part are they located? In the heart or mind? Are we born with compassion or learn to be compassionate?

Troll and heartless by Sara Birgitte Øfsti Nesje was supported by the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
