What does it mean to be human? What about animals? Do animals have language? What is childhood? Aude Busson's collage-like work presents children's own thoughts on life's big questions.

The children's thoughts and Borko's music form the soundscape of the performance and create an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. On stage, performer Aude Busson follows the children's voices and traces the story of humanity and its relationship with the world. In Manndýr, the audience is invited to step into a world where children themselves tell the whole story and many questions remain unanswered. The performance is a place for play and sensitive exploration.

Manndýri has been performed over 60 times in theaters and schools in Iceland, France, and Norway.
