Winner of the Norwegian Hedda Prize 2013: “Best show of the year”.

As part of their 20th anniversary, we present one of Verk Produksjoner’s most iconic performances, Stalker. The performance won the Hedda Award for Best Production in 2013. It is considered a cult classic, and has been performed at home and abroad since its premiere at Black Box teater. Verk Produksjoner’s work has undergone several different phases over the years. Stalker can be said to be a turning point in the company’s history, where the gaze is increasingly turned to a space that one longs for and seeks out.

In this performance, Verk Produksjoner reconstructs parts of Tarkovsky’s film Stalker. They contemplate the Zone, an area where the normal laws of physics no longer apply. Everyone has their own motive to enter the Zone, and it is said that if one reaches the center of the Zone, one’s innermost desires will be fulfilled. But when one finally reaches the threshold of this room, doubts arise – do they really want to enter. For who knows one’s innermost desires?
