THE CROWD
Award winning show! “Most impressive performance” at Oslo Fringe 2024
The Crowd explores how we navigate our positions in crowds. You’ll hear texts from different people about the loneliness and the joy they experience while being part of different groups of people. While listening, together the audience becomes a crowd.
This performance gives the audience possibilities they rarely get to experience in the theatre. The audience gets headphones they will wear throughout the performance and there will not be any seating. Maybe “The Crowd” can be compared to the theatre's version of silent disco?
The Crowd handler om ensomheten og gleden i det å være en del av noe, et fellesskap, en folkemengde. Forestillingen oppleves gjennom utdelte hodetelefoner, det er ingen sitteplasser og gir et mulighetsrom til publikum de sjelden får oppleve i teateret. Kanskje dette er teaterets svar på silent disco?
“(…) I leave having had an intense experience. A shared experience with others with whom we originally had in common only that we just happened to be in the same theatre for a moment.” - Barbora Smoliková, PQ Student Witness
