Who are we?

Director Robert Lepage, known as the wizard of modern theatre direction, enters the stage in person in his very personal play 887, delving into the mysterious memory palace of the mind. What happens to our mind in a digital age, as we are hardly even able to remember our own phone numbers? This is one of the questions posed by Lepage in 887. During the Bergen Intenational Festival, he met Danish theatre critic Monna Dithmer for a conversation, exploring his work and use of childhood memories and play with identities, which turns the stage into a box of magic. Can theatre be a special space for sensing and remembering? Hvem er vi?
