Talking about the Fire: One-Man Show: Chris Thorpe

Nobels Fredssenter og Norsk Folkehjelp ønsker deg velkommen til denne eksklusive forestillingen, som vises i Norge for første gang i anledning utdelingen av Nobels Fredspris til Nihon Hidankyo. Vises i Oslo 10 desember og 11 desember. Talking About The Fire Created by Chris Thorpe and Claire O’Reilly Written and performed by Chris Thorpe Developed with Rachel Chavkin Nuclear weapons could destroy us all, right now – so why aren’t we talking about them? Sometimes the threat slides into view – Russia invades Ukraine – but that doesn’t make the weapons more dangerous. They’re always dangerous. And one day, deliberately or accidentally, they’ll be used again. Talking About The Fire is a show and a conversation. We’ll talk about where we are, where we live, and why it’s important people like us talk about this at all. Created by seven-time Fringe First winner Chris Thorpe and Claire O’Reilly (Abbey Theatre) and developed with Tony Award-winning Rachel Chavkin. ★★★★★ ‘It’s all masterfully put together… this show culminates in an encounter that really puts the ‘alive’ into ‘live theatre’. – Time Out ★★★★★ “It’s precisely the feeling of community and comfort in the room that makes the horror of what Thorpe is describing so powerful.” – Broadway World ★★★★ “Informative and deeply affecting… Thorpe is an assured and tremendously engaging performer.” – The Stage ★★★★ ‘Chris Thorpe does what he does with a performative skill that is off-the-charts brilliant. It is an extraordinary evening of theatre.’ – Theatre Reviews Hub
