Riksteatret: Krise, kaos & katastrofe

About Riksteatret: Krise, kaos & katastrofe

Monday morning in a classroom somewhere. Five students and a teacher gather to retake a Norwegian exam. The assignment is to answer the question How does your life look in twenty years? ... but what do you answer when you do not even know how next week will turn out? Will my grades matter in twenty years? What if a black hole swallows the earth? Or Jesus rises from the dead? Or maybe the planet burns up?

Soon the discussion between the students becomes so heated that they barely hear the alarm sirens wailing outside the classroom door ...

Crisis, Chaos & Catastrophe is a newly written sci-fi comedy for all of us who feel that the world is about to collapse. Written by emerging dramatist Amar Jašarević and directed by critically acclaimed Farnaz Arbabi.

Recommended from age 15.
