En natt i februar* (A Night in February)

En natt i februar* (A Night in February) by Krabatene Teaterkompani is the story about the little boy who lies in his bed unable to sleep. At school he is harassed by Bønnien, the worst boy in class. Something terrible happened when the school went on a ski trip earlier the same day, and the thoughts jump around the little boy’s head, stopping him from going to sleep.

In En natt i februar* (A Night in February) by Krabatene Teaterkompani we never get to see the boy himself, but through little glints and episodes we encounter the thoughts, personified by three actors, and we get the whole story about the hurtful things the boy has experienced. The actors jump in and out of a series of roles and present people in the boy’s near surroundings.

En natt i februar is a performance rich in moods, humorous, poetic and playful. It is sad, exciting and a little funny, with newly composed music building up under and underlining the moods and the story.
