A house is drawn, someone lives in it, and another person moves in. Two people try to work out how to live together, sharing rhythms, routines and rooms when they are very different from one another. The audience is invited close as the home becomes a stage and the stage becomes a home.
Hjem is a sensory performance about the familiar and the vulnerable side of sharing space with others. It explores our ability to be together with people we do not necessarily resemble or understand, as closeness, distance, longing and irritation take turns. The production is presented as relaxed theatre with few rules, and audience members may move around, take breaks or simply watch. It is created by Kaosteater in co-production with Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium, in collaboration with playwright and director Regina Rex, and developed from conversations with local people in Holstebro.
