FIGHT
– a Raw, Unrelenting Conflict on Stage
FIGHT is a groundbreaking, four-hour performance by Swedish playwright and director Freja Hallberg.
It’s not a story. It’s a conflict – live, relentless, unresolved.
Four actors. One bluegrass band. No resolution.
The audience is pulled into an ever-intensifying quarrel that unfolds in real time.
Each shift of power, each absurd escalation, each moment of tenderness – you’re there.
With fast, musical dialogue and physical precision, FIGHT dives deep into the very core of theatre: confrontation.
It demands presence. And it doesn’t let go.
"An intensity I haven’t seen since Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage."
— Sydsvenskan
