Showbox, Norway's largest performing arts festival with performances for children and young people, takes place from Tuesday, November 26 to Thursday, November 28, 2024. This year, Showbox is organized for the 19th time. The festival offers a wide range of performances, conversations and discussions about the performing arts, and is open to everyone. The Swiss artist Tabea Martin presents her performance "Forever" in  the opening performance of the festival.

What does it mean to live forever? 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you never had to die? Or what your own death would look like - dramatically, like a scene from a movie? These are the questions that are at the center of FOREVER, a performance where both humor and seriousness can play together. 

Through interviews and workshops, Swiss choreographer Tabea Martin has explored children's thoughts on life and death. The result is a performance full of imagination, adapted by five professional dancers.

About the show: 

This is not a spoiler, but useful information to help you decide if this show is right for you. The show contains a lot of theatrical blood and uses cartoonish and absurd representations of violence and death. The themes explored include death, dying, grief and loss. The dancers depict different ways of dying and talk openly about the desire to die. There is also a recreation of a funeral.
