SYNOPSIS: 

"Shadows" is a poetic, enigmatic, disturbing and surprising show about memories. In the indefinable and magical interpretation, we approach the reminiscences of the past through projected faces of children who remember things that several elders have lived. Memories of a life together and back stories that connect them come on stage, in delicately intertwined dialogues.

This is one of the most disturbing and strange texts by Jon Fosse, one of the most interesting contemporary Norwegian playwright, widely regarded as the great heir of Ibsen. It is a show that challenges the conventional theater, as the text is built from the discontinuity, repetition and silence, where concrete bourgeois lifeworld becomes an elusive realm of shadows.

De Utvalgte, is one of the most recognized independent theater companies in Norway. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Oslo, is characterized by using elements in his productions and concepts from contemporary theater, video and live music, mingling with dramaturgical texts and documentary material. Their shows keep the balance on the boundary between theater and reality, with content that renew the performing arts.
