Heroines
The spring of 2008 The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater) challenged the playwrights Ellisiv Lindkvist and Grete Randsborg Jenseg to write each their text founded in the term Heroines. They only got 48 hours. They were to write for each their pair of actors, who they met for the first time, with the directors Kate Pendry and Victoria Bakke. Directors and actors then got 48 hours to make a small stunt performance based in the texts.
