About
"Naive. Super is very modern in the way it combines various forms of media to tell a story, but timeless in its exploration of the world and our place in it. If you're looking for forward-thinking experimental theater that's still very accessible and relatable, don't miss this one." - Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
Kurt Engh remounts his original stage adaptation of Erlend Loe's 1995 cult novel, reimagining the 25-year-old Norwegian narrator as a universal every-person.
After an existential crisis at a birthday party, the narrator slows their life to a halt. With only the objects, people and tasks that bring meaning to their life, the narrator pieces their life back together.
Staged using environmental sound, video, an overhead projector and a fax machine, the performer will uncover the play in real time as the audience watches on.
