WE ARE A HUNDRED

A near-death experience! In Khemiri's third play we meet a trio of women: A young revolutionary, a middle-aged comfort junkie and an old truth seeker. Three persons who, in their fight to define themselves, realize that they are the same person. Join Jonas Hassen Khemiri's unpredictable world where everyone fights to define the meaning of the word "we".
 
Premiered at the Gothenburg City Theatre in September 2009. Opens at the Stockholm City theatre in the spring of 2012. The first Norwegian version of the play was awarded a Hedda Award for best Norwegian play in 2010. Motivation: 

Productions of recently written foreign contemporary drama are not what we experience the most at Norwegian stages. The more of a joy is it that this year's winner of this category is just that, a rather recent text - an original, uninhibited and merry comedy which in addition appeals to a wide audience.

A young and relatively new director, educated abroad, has signed a playful, transparently light and positively theatrical production in which the serious undertones of the text are promoted, near unnoticeably, but still with assurance. In dazzling interaction on equal footing, precisely paced and with unyielding nerve, three wonderful actors convey the diverse personality of the human being. The stage design is effectful and the costumes invite to using the imagination. What more can one demand?
