JonFosse is a Norwegian playwright and writer who in later years mostly has written plays, but he has also published novels, collections of poetry and essays and books for children.
The theatre was far from the obvious choice, hardly a road that lay open to JonFosse when he made his debut as a dramatist in 1994 with Og aldri skal vi skiljast (And we'll never be parted) on Den Nationale Scene in Bergen.
Fosse belonged nowhere, he wrote in a sort of absence which was both social aesthetic at once, as if he were speaking from another place, barely audibly and in defiance of a long line of the axioms we link with the theatre as a phenomenon.
Fosse's anathema is only the latest in a succession of condemnations which have been aimed at the dubious virtue of theatre since it was born, focusing either on its moral or aesthetic character (this has varied according to times and customs).
