THE BORDER
ON TOUR
A man and a woman share a workplace. Mutual respect is a virtue, but, beneath the surface, a territorial war is taking place. Perhaps even more is at stake, like the discovery of emotional addiction.

With a bit of imagination, yet another level of understanding is possible. Could this troublesome coexistence resemble a classic border dispute between two nations?
The production is a collaboration between Jo Strømgren Kompani and one of the northernmost institutional theatres in the world – Hålogaland Teater in Tromsø. Even though the full panoramic view to the border dispute hotspot of the Arctic region adds a specific relevance, the theme is universal to the core. Border conflicts exist everywhere.
