In The Border, a man and a woman share a workplace. Mutual respect is a virtue, but, beneath the surface, a territorial war is taking place. Perhaps even more is at stake, like the discovery of emotional addiction. To each other, to the game itself, or a vicious mix of both as is often the case between the sexes.
With a bit of imagination, yet another level of understanding is possible. Could this troublesome coexistence resemble a classic border dispute between two nations?
The Border was made in collaboration between Jo Strømgren Kompani and one of the northernmost institutional theatres in the world - Hålogaland Theatre in Tromsø. Even though the full panoramic view to the border dispute hotspot of the Arctic region adds a specific relevance, the theme is universal to the core. Border conflicts exist everywhere.
The Border by Jo Strømgren Kompani was supported by Arts Council Norway and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
