Karen Houge: DREAMGIRL

A show about trust. Would you trust a stranger? Why? Why not?

Together with Karen Houge – our DREAMGIRL – we’re going to find out. Through personal stories from following Syrian refugees, a few vegetables, and a pile of LEGO, Karen invites us to explore what it means to trust. This isn’t just a show – it’s a conversation about humanity.

Developed with dramaturgical support from award-winning comedian and artist Elf Lyons (Best Show – Comedians’ Choice Awards 2024, (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2024). Supported by the Performing Arts Fund in Norway.
