ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
“You can do anything out of necessity,” he says. Maybe you’re right, she says.’ Bjørgvin. It is cold. It’s raining. Asle and the heavily pregnant Alida are wandering around the Norwegian coastal town. Everywhere the young couple is turned away. People like you are not wanted here. Every pause involves drifting into an unreal twilight state. Driven by desperation, they gain access to a strange house. A series of mysterious encounters that bring the past to life turns out to be a fatal race against time.
