EG ER VINDEN (I AM THE WIND)
Recommended from VG2.

Jon Fosse has spent several decades writing innovative drama and prose that gives voice to the unspeakable, and in 2023 he was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature! The world-renowned author, playwright, and translator is a master at describing the soul's meanderings and has become famous for his unique way of writing about life's mysteries.

This autumn, director Victoria Meirik, who has previously staged several of Fosse's plays, takes on I Am the Wind. This is one of his most poignant pieces, where we meet two people in a boat—One and the Other—as they attempt to recreate a voyage that ended fatally for one of them. What was so heavy that One chose to go to sea? Why was the depth safer than the boat, death easier than life? How can we approach each other, and with what language? Is it even possible to find words to grasp such profound questions of existence?

Jon Fosse is a master of dialogue, and in Er er vinden (I Am the Wind), it is down-to-earth and everyday. At the same time, the dialogue addresses significant issues in life such as loneliness and community, joy in living and fear of death, the meaningful and the meaningless, reflecting on the relationship between reality and illusion, between language and meaning.

“If one cannot speak of it, one must be silent. But the world chatters on, chasing the wind, until language becomes mere noise, a wall both within us and between us.”
