About wewillivestorm Benjamin Verdonck has written the following (from the program of Black Box Teater):
"My father and I are on the stage.
My friend, the musician, is standing on the side.
There´s much pottering, someone´s moving strings.
There´s no speech.
There´s no story, either.
And there´s almost no music."
The floor in wewillivestorm was filled with little boats, bread, felt carpets, chairs, a play horse, steel marbles, and a series of strands and strings binding the objects physically together and at times moving them, in a manner reminiscent of domino-like object tricks, several with a comical result. However, it wasn’t this, but the relation between Verdonck and the objects and Verdonck and his silent dad Herman, driving the action forward.
The Norwegian visiting performance was supported by Arts Council Norway.
