Black Hole

Sort Hul is a performance for adults and young people aged 15 and up, produced by Egnsteatret. Sort Hul focuses on loneliness among young people - a problem that increasingly affects our society.

The performance is based on young people's own experiences, which the team behind the show collects from local young people through interviews and workshops. These stories are woven into a script that balances poetry and realism, where emotions and experiences become concrete and present, and which takes the audience into the complex feeling of being left out of the community.

Where the lonely often feel like a spectator to the lives of others, here the audience become spectators to the life of the lonely. The scenography is brought to life by the audience physically standing over a black hole, and in the hole deep below them, the two actors bring the story to life.

Lukas is retreating. Into the darkness, into the shadows. Here he is alone, and not quite as lonely as when he is with the others... For Lukas, it feels like he's sitting at the bottom of a pitch-black hole. From here he watches life go on, up there in the light, without him. He is a spectator to the lives of others. No matter how hard he tries, he can't get out of that hole. Not under his own power.

Sort Hul is more than a performance - it's a platform for reflection, dialogue and action. We believe that art can make a difference when it comes to creating communities and helping us all reach out to each other.
