Listenting premiere audio drama: THROUGH THE GUARD

Marius Kolbenstvedt

THROUGH THE GUARD

– memorial for boys’ voices –

Audio theater about masculine upbringing and violence. The performance takes the form of a collective monologue, based on memories from growing up in Oslo in the 1970s and 80s, and the gradual discovery of how violence at the micro level reflects violence on a global level.

Listening premiere. Afterwards, the audio file becomes available on the web.
