Jo Strømgren Kompani: The Border at Den Norske Opera & Ballett

A man and a woman share a workplace. They respect each other, but beneath the surface a territorial struggle is taking place. It is a struggle against emotional addition: to the game itself and to each other. With a little imagination, yet another level of understanding is possible. Could this troublesome coexistence resemble a classic border dispute between two nations?

Jo Strømgren Kompani has toured The Border in Russia, South Africa, China, Denmark, Finland and Macedonia – as well as in Norway, where it was well-received throughout the country:

«Sexy, challenging and entertaining work from Jo Strømgren,» said Rana Blad. «A gem of a performance,» was the verdict of Fædrelandsvennen, which gave it six out of six.
