Advice for a safe return is about trying to find your way in a jungle of good advice, rules and signposts. Many advice and warnings we receive during a day, may be strange, frightening, stupid, give you bad conscience or actually be helpful. This one-woman show is a collection of both the best and worst, gathered over a years time from different places and sources. What influence can these advice have on our lifes? What happens if you try to listen to them all? Can they actually help you? Do they make us safer? Or more nervous?
The monologue has been performed in an earlier version at Landmark, Bergen museum of comtemporary art, and Skuretfestivalen in Trondheim.
Performed in Norwegian or English.
