The Bunker
The performance
In a dystopian future where the deaf are the privileged majority, three people – two women and one man – fight for survival in a sealed bunker. What happens when language, gender, and power collide?
Jo Strømgren Kompani and Teater Manu present The Bunker, a performance exploring the power of language and the tyranny of the majority, woven together with Strømgren’s signature physical theater and absurd humor.
Teater Manu and Jo Strømgren Kompani first collaborated in 2023 with System Error, a performance about a blind date in a high-tech smart home with sign language translation, where chaos unfolded both physically and digitally.
Duration: 60 minutes
Premiere: June 10th 2025, Teater Manu, Oslo Norway
Language: Sign language and VoiceOver
A co-production with Teater Manu
The performance is accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences.
