Dear Europa is not a traditional production. Director Uwe Cramer encourages the actors use their own lives in an effort to understand the crisis in the Mediterranean. Reality replaces fiction. The texts are written specifically for this world premiere and are based on research, interviews, fiction and reality. This is the situation in Europe just now and the world invades the theatre. #FE STSPILLEN E16 F RICT ION B E RG E N IN T E RN AT ION A L F E ST IVA L 2 01 6 Norwegian Norwegian premiere D I ALO G U E Who was Frode Nilsen?

Director and playwright Rodrigo Malbrán has himself had his life shaped by Frode Nilsen’s good deeds. ‘I wanted to write a play about this man because he means so much, not just for those who fled from Chile to Norway in exile, but also for me.’ All roles are played by graduate students from the Theatre Production and Acting Programme at Nord University, formerly HiNT. Produced by the Theatre Production and Acting programme at Nord University. 097 t Outdoors L AN G UAG E T I CKET 1:40 A group of unique but quite ordinary people air questions about human values and define the festival theme boundries, through their personal stories. The storytellers play roles as themselves and are not actors, but authentic people on a stage. Last year’s production, Det var en gang et menneske, (Once Upon a Human Being) played to a full house. “This was a play I didn’t think I would like, but I loved it” wrote BT’s reviewer, and gave the performance five hearts. 096 FR I CT I ON ME E T-U P DE TA IL S SE E W W W.F IB.N O DAT E / T IME Saturday 28 May at 16:00 and Sunday 29 May at 16:00 DU RAT ION T IC K E T 1:30 Standard: 100 A DDIT ION A L IN FORMAT ION BT Fordel: 25 % discount Fugit The performance is unsuitable for persons with limited mobility Do you have the courage to take a fresh look at your surroundings? The theatre company Kamchàtka from Barcelona is back. Fugit is a story about escape. About those who have left and those that are going to leave their homes. It’s not an escape of avoidance, but of fighting against. Fugit is an homage to everyone who has had the courage to leave the superfluous, abandon the familiar and move on in the hope of a better world. Kamchàtka creates intense, moving and uneasy meetings with the streets as a stage. They move between the realms of theatre, roleplay and reality, and have given the public in many European towns a fresh look at their surroundings. Complete involvement in the experience requires good shoes, resolve and the ability to move about.
