"Inside of the large tent is a small tent, and inside of the small tent is a boy. He has travelled far. Mostly, he has been travelling alone. Now, he wants to show the audience what he has brought. He also wants to tell the story of why he went, and which way he chose, but he can't say how the story ends. Based on stories collected in the Hvalstad centre for underage asylum seekers, NIE has created a project about hope, despair, friendship and separation, told by a refugee child."
"The theatre can build empathy and understanding, and the theatre can advocate open discussion. This year's winning production in the best production for youth category does both. The performance uses a vital collage of effects from storytelling theatre and puppetry, physical theatre, shadow theatre and musical theatre, with realistically performed dialogue and symbolically presented factual information. The expression is intimate, but also pays testimony to expansive knowledge. In the production, as in former productions by the same company, keywords such as 'hope, survival and the force of life' are central. The themes have been found in contemporary society, and the idea material has been collected through interviews with people who have personally gone through the flight that is the theme of the performance."
