NAR (FOOL)

The performance NAR (FOOL) is a tragicomic medieval performance with Johannes Lilleøre, staged by Erik Pold.

It is shown in the courtyard in front of Kunsthal Charlottenborg on Saturday, August 12 at 17.00 and 20.00. Duration: 50 minutes. Admission is free.

Does the fool have a place in society today and who is he? In the performance NAR, we meet the modern fool, who has devoted his life to the role and to his modern “fool technique”. His methods lead him into great moral dilemmas, and radical choices must then be made.

Choices that end up pushing him to the edge. “I have studied the humans. I know what they will do before they do it. In that way I have an advantage. I’m always one step ahead.”

The performance NAR is improvised in close cooperation between director Erik Pold and actor Johannes Lilleøre. They have had an artistic collaboration for a number of years, focusing on investigating ways of performing and acting that consciously work on the boundary between fiction and reality, and that investigates a style of play which is in direct dialogue with the audience.

A play with recognizable characters that say and do absurd things, and allow them to be both ridiculous, provocative and reckless at the same time, just like the role of the fool.
