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 balances between poetry and realism, where emotions and experiences become concrete and present, taking the audience into the complex feeling of being on the outside of a 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.

Elias retreats. Into the darkness, into the shadows. Here he is alone, and not quite as lonely as when he is with the others… For Elias, it feels like he is 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 an observer of other people's lives. No matter how much he tries, he cannot climb out of that hole. Not by his own strength.

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.

Sort Hul is produced by Egnsteatret in Vordingborg in collaboration with Steffen Sommerstedt from Teatret Aspendos. The touring of this performance is managed by Teatret Aspendos., See more here.
