Passport project

Oslo Version 2026

Where Borders Vanish, Stories Begin

Once, a passport was a symbol of identity, freedom, and belonging. But in this postmodern world, passports have no power at the border. Enter The Passport Collector, who gathers antique passports—fragments of lives, last journeys, and the eternal search for home.

Born from a bold collaboration between Miami and Oslo, The Passport Project shatters the rules of traditional playmaking. Playwrights join forces with visual and sound artists from the very beginning, weaving together childhood memories, rhythms, movements, and haunting sounds of “home.”.

This is theatre that speaks in images, pulses with sound, and moves with raw emotion. A script not just written in words, but painted in visuals, sculpted in rhythm, and alive with a Visual Narrative that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
