hold me

The production hold me by voksnebarn (Norway/Sweden):

A young Swedish actor ensemble and the young Norwegian director Goro Tronsmo examines in voksnebarn the communicative potential of realism – in combination with a site-specific strategy in which the production adapts and challenges the built-in narrative voice of the room, making the experience of a reflection an opportunity for the audience. Hence the production establishes a particular relationship between fiction and reality, performers and audience.

The production hold me by voksnebarn has been presented in a series of versions adjusted to different rooms. It has been performed in different contexts, such as gym halls, bunkers, a renovated swimming pool, two school foyers, an art atelier, a small and intimate stage and a black box.

The company voksnebarn has a dogma like acting style, emphasising a toned-down psychological realism, which one could study in the productions Mad and Erase my skin among others.

hold me by voksnebarn was supported by the county of Vest-Agder and The Cultural Rucksack.
