Narrenes Skip

In the Middle Ages people told tales of the so-called Ship of Fools - a mysterious ship which sailed from harbour to harbour and collected the insane, the outcasts, those who didn’t belong anywhere… Nobody knows where or to what destiny they went …. 
From this we have created our own Ship of Fools. The performance is a journey where the voyage itself – and the dream of travelling – is more important than where we are going. We follow the outcasts through the hard and the easy days on board, where every one has to rely on each other to survive. The characters are not only characters in a play; they are a result of the actors search for creative and crazy qualities inside themselves. 
This is theatre for all senses. Theatre which allows insanity to bloom – and thereby both create and heal.

"STELLA POLARIS is the lighthouse in Nordic theatre – and this performance is the maddest, most vigorous and most poetic, anybody has made like a back flip across stage."
Tor Åge Bringsværd 
International acclaimed Norwegian author

“It’s probably one of the strongest, honest, life-giving performances I have ever seen. I don’t understand how you do it”.
A Norwegian woman that appeared in Tolfa, Italy, during INCONTRO – 05; referring to the performance shown at “Olavsfestdagene” in Trondheim Cultural festival 2005.
