Frivillighuset i Gamle Fredrikstad
For everybody (children from 8+). The show is with no words.
Location: Frivillighuset, Gamlebyen i Fredrikstad
A man and… your suitcases!
After many years spent carrying people’s luggage, an eccentric hotel porter has learnt to look at things from a wholly different point of view and break the monotony of his alienating daily routine.
Organiser: Frivillighuset, Gamle Fredrikstad. In cooperation with Studium Actoris and PIT - Porsgrunn Internasjonal Theatre Festival.
Classic Italian slapstick theatre put to the test through an unconventional theme that will make you think about Noah's Ark in a whole new way.
The show combines puppetry, circus, physical theatre, magic and comedy. In this way, Luigi Ciotta plays with a hot topic for a wide audience.
Abattoir Blues is the third part of the Trilogy of Abundance . After spotlighting food waste ( Funky Pudding – 2009) and sugar addiction ( Sweet Dreams – 2014), Luigi Ciotta tackles another hotly debated topic: the mistreatment of animals in intensive farming and society's ambivalent relationship with meat, which is increasingly burdened with new taboos.
NB! Performances are without words.
