Danish fix+foxy will visit us on 27 March – 3 April 2025.

An explosive experience

The first production in our Spring 2025 international guest program is now released. fix+foxy's acclaimed Dark Noon visits us on 27 March – 3 April 2025.

In the performance directed by Tue Biering, seven South African actors explore a time when thirty-five million hungry and poor Europeans fled west across the Atlantic in search of a better life. It becomes a race for land, for gold, for wealth, and settling for a home.

History is told by the victors; this story is told by the vanquished. Dark Noon is an explosive theatrical experience which demands to know; ‘who has the power to write our history?’.

In the performance, the relationship between the Global South and the Global North is turned upside down. At the same time, it sheds new light on Europe’s colonial history, the myth of the Wild West, and the American Dream in an extremely powerful, inventive, and entertaining way.

A dream come true

Theatre’s Artistic Director Jussi Sorjanen has been following fix+foxy for a long time. He also directed Bering’s play Rocky! at Viirus Theatre in 2021.

“Biering often combines two elements in his works that, at first glance, seem fundamentally incompatible. His aim is to create a dialogue and a meeting point between them, together with the audience. He has a unique ability to highlight structural issues, double standards, and hypocrisy in a way that evokes strong emotions and sparks thought-provoking theater performances that don't end with applause, but live on within the audience for a long time afterward,” Sorjanen explains.

“This production has been part of my dream programme since 2019, when I saw it for the first time," Sorjanen says. "I can’t wait to see the connection that forms between the Finnish audience and Dark Noon. The aftertalk will be something to witness!”
