Everyman/Einkvan Everyman/Einkvan

A father, a mother, and a grown son make desperate attempts at connection. The son wants nothing to do with the parents. They look for him but he does not want to be found. Their struggles to communicate are intercepted by the echoes of people who look just like them – their mysterious doppelgängers.

Einkvan is a beautiful hybrid of contemporary art and theatre, interlocking the intimacy of film with the immediacy of live theatre. While the bodies that move about in front of our eyes are indistinct, obscured behind a translucent screen, two cameras vividly capture every intimate moment.

Fosse’s poetic text, and director Kjersti Horn’s ambitious directorial vision bring us to the very heart of loneliness and the powerlessness of not being able to reach those we are closest to.
