This Is a Play (Of What Is Past, or Passing, or to Come)

This Is a Play (Of What is Past, or Passing, or to Come).

This is a play, literally - a play written for theatre.

The play is in a book.

In the book there's also a diary, and a preface, written by an architect.

There's also some supplementary material there, an "Anti-Manifesto-Manifesto", and a critique by a critic.

This Is a Play is a play written by a Norwegian, in Copenhagen, in English, at a Danish Academy, the story is set in Oslo.

The play addresses the rapid pace, and rather massive development of Oslo Harbour, that has been going on for the past twenty years. 

The play is a play on -isms, on clashes between architects and non-architects. 

There's also a programme.

And some visual material from the project.
