How do you find a room for writing? What is created in that room? And how does the written word affect the one who writes? In Ghosts, we encounter a number of voices, internal and external, which demand to be heard. The text deals with topics related to politics, literature, relationships and power, but first and foremost it peels away the outer layers in search of a core.
In collaboration with Dramatikkens Hus and Ibsen Awards.
Curated and directed by Kai Johnsen.
