The texts in I'm on fire without a chance by Stigespillerne are dark and sombre and about life on the shadowed side, often communicated with humour. The poems are like short stories about meetings between humans never reaching each other completely.
I'm on fire without a chance is not about Charles Bukowski, but about opposing the mainstream.
According to the company:
"It is about searching for moments of light to sedate the shadows.
It is about searching for the total dark to extinguish the shadows.
It is about the shadowed sides in all human beings."
