In a secluded spot up in Greenland, in the deep of the Arctic night, a man sits alone, insomniac, disoriented, on the brink of a nervous breakdown. 

 

Then his “friends” arrive, loud-mouthed and drinking, filling the frozen night with their chatter and outrageous tales. All the humour and humanity of Jørn Riel comes together here, at the insomniac’s bedside ...    

​

We may find that it is sometimes dangerous to name one’s desires, and that puppets can have more imagination than puppeteers…

​

Arctics Nignts ( "Les Nuits Polaires")  invites the spectator into an igloo for an intimate play about desire, friendship and madness.
