Særp Tropez |Pappen|

There were long queues to get into the disused Sarpsborg prison this fall, when the first performance in the trilogy, Særp Tropez |Fengselet|, played to full houses. The production was a huge success and a talking point, both in Sarpsborg and the rest of the country. Now we look forward to the continuation!

Cici Henriksen teams up with deWangen productions and this time takes on a fallen giant, namely the old Sarpsborg Pap- og Papirindustri AS – popularly known as «Pappen». The performance Særp Tropez |Pappen| will be made in and for the gigantic factory premises that until recently constituted an essential lifeblood of the town.
Hard work and well-deserved vacation
So many hours of work have been put into this cornerstone company. So many miles of corrugated cardboard, packaging, paychecks, smoke breaks, union meetings, milestones, company teams, sick days and lifelong camaraderie. And then – nothing. The huge, old Pappen is now empty and deserted.
Strange Tropez moves in and writes poetry on the ruins, painting stories and tales based on what was and what could have been. Small and big stories, nice and strange moments, darkness and light, palm trees and liver pate slices – and everything in between.
The theater experience will be a journey through halls, offices, machine rooms and right to the core of a family chronicle that unfolds between friends and family, love and conflict, hard work and well-deserved vacation.
