Winter/­Vinter Winter/­Vinter

A man and a woman meet by chance. He is a family man, she is a prostitute. Two people who were not supposed to meet, and they end up in his hotel room.

Dangerous love

Winter (2000) by Jon Fosse is written for a man and a woman. Director Lisaboa Houbrechts wants to explore questions surrounding gender identity, and has chosen the actors Kyrre Hellum, Tani Dibasey and Carl Martin Eggesbø for the roles. Winter is about finding one's place, about being accepted, and the fragile relationship between the "I" and the "others".

This version of Winter will show the joy, but also the fear and sorrow that daring to love brings. The performance acknowledges all those who are in danger, threatened or killed because of who they are and who they love.
