At the webpafe of Norwegian Centre for New Playwriting (NCNP) the following, among other things, is written about We Raise Our Heads in Shame:

"With We Raise Our Heads in Shame, Ferske Scener invites the audience to take part in an absurd and strange journey into a musical universe, in which the artists steal as ravens from all they find purpose in, from fairytales and encyclopaedias, political quotes and commercial slogans. With buckets of self-depreciation they bring the audience along on a theatrical dugnad in which the aim is to rebuild the meaning behind the term of democracy - people governing."

Supported by: Arts Council Norway, The Fund for Performing Artists, the freedom of expression foundation Fritt Ord, Arctic Arts Festival's touring organisation
