Trilogy

Jon Fosse — a renowned Norwegian writer and playwright, winner of the Nobel Prize in 2023 «for innovative plays and prose that give voice to the inexpressible», laureate of the Nordic Council's Prize and the theatrical equivalent of the Nobel... Prize — the International Ibsen Award, nominee for the International Booker Prize in 2020 and 2022.

«For my plays, it is better when the emotions of the characters are sealed under a tight lid — and under this lid, they boil».

Asle and Alida wander the streets of Bjørgvin late in autumn twilight in search of shelter. But nowhere are the unmarried lovers welcomed, who are about to have a child. The fjord glitters in the darkness, it is raining, the child is kicking in Alida's belly. They are so tired and so cold. In this world, they are needed by no one except each other. And fate leads them along dangerous paths.

An incredibly deep and poetic trilogy-parable about love, crime, music, and death. «Trilogy» consists of three stories that are considered some of the most important works of Fosse — «Insomnia», «Ulava's Dreams» and «Evening Lace».

«Fosse speaks of passions and death, and he seeks a timeless meaning in them, which is why he writes detachedly and compassionately at the same time, a rare skill». — Olga Drobot
