At the webpage of The Arctic Theatre the following, among other things, is written about The Son:

"The mother and the father live in a small village. They no longer talk much. The village is in the dark, except from the light from their own house and their neighbour's house. He goes to town and gets drunk, and all the young people move away. The mother and the father have a son they don't know the whereabouts of. They want to know where he is, but still they don't dare to imagine that he will one day come home. And then he does…

Fosse's tight saga describes a society in which a decreasing number of people live, in which silence, loneliness and broken dreams rule - as do the rumours."
