For thirty years in the dream town he has built, a man establishes strictly commercial relationships with his entourage “in a murky, ambiguous atmosphere with vague, blurred boundaries”. Reality slips into artiﬁciality in a world where the virtual and commercial take over. In his clear and taut style, this forty-year-old Norwegian playwright’s most recent play portrays the lost illusions and defeated ideals.
