Synopsis:

A psychological drama by Jon Fosse, the Norwegian author nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Someone Is Going to Come, directed by Chris Simion-Mercurian, stars Ofelia Popii, three-time UNITER Award winner, and Ciprian Scurtea from the Radu Stanca National Theatre in Sibiu.

Written in 1992-93, the play tells the story of two people who move alone to a house by the beach, far from daily hustle, a couple distancing themselves from the world, seeking to find themselves and strengthen their relationship. But once there, things take an unexpected turn. She, tormented by fear and premonitions, and He, caught between love and jealousy, test their trust, struggle to communicate, and try desperately to become authentic again. Alone. Together. The performance relies on mystery and suspense, searching for essence. It is a theatre of silences, a story about (mis)communication.

“Someone is going to come to live in that house, someone is going to come without us knowing when, someone is going to come diluting us, someone is going to come so we can be what we are, not what we seem. Someone is going to come… like a mirror, like a breeze, like a shadow, like a ray of light, like a labyrinth door, without us knowing why and until when.” – Chris Simion-Mercurian, director
