I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS BEEN ON THE MOON

Månen is closely followed around by his girlfriend Bonnie, who so desperately needs a role model. His big sister, Sara, follows him as older sisters do: two steps ahead and one step behind. The slightly older Gaupa watches over the herd, while father and mother, teacher and prison officer do their best to show Månen the reality. But Månen knows that the streets have it's own life. All he needs is a boat. And an ocean.

​

How are the conditions of drug addicts in Norway today? What makes you feel left out from the inclusive society in Norway? Why do we humans end up in situations where we no longer have control? What does democracy and freedom of speech mean to people living on the streets?

​

This plays aims to create a greater understanding of the outsiders. The performance has been created through research among Oslo's drug addicts and the various institutions and organizations that work with and for them.
