What if you had the opportunity to reconcile with your deceased parents? In After the Silence , playwright Lars Norén makes an attempt.
A man meets his parents for a final conversation - after the silence. The three are occasionally interrupted by a younger woman and her son, with a story similar to their own.
It is an event that the National Theater can present the world premiere of a play by Swedish Lars Norén, one of the greatest playwrights of our time. Almost 40 years after the breakthrough with The Night is Today's Mother and Chaos is a Neighbor to God , Norén has constantly returned to the same story. It is about growing up in a family in a hotel in Scania. But in contrast to the hard-hitting realism of the early pieces, this time Norén takes us to a more indeterminate landscape - both real and in memory. After 40 years, the look is different, lasting and more conciliatory - but with much of the same, black humor.
Performances run April 7-24, 2021. Learn more at https://www.nationaltheatret.no/forestillinger/etter-stillheten/.
