The story deals with the hopes, dreams and woes of three generations of seafarers. The collaboration between artists and actors from the nordic countries has resulted in a theater production where the intriguing story is brought to life by impressive live performers and innovative technological solutions.
The production is performed in Swedish and Norwegian and it is subtitled in English.
VI, DE DRUNKNADE premiered in 2016 and has been touring since. In February/March 2018 the production toured in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark and Sweden.

PRESS
"The characters are played by Jonas Kippersund, Marc Svahnström and Lidia Bäck, who effortlessly go into the main characters and then quickly sift to a second. Most memorable is Lidia Bäck in the role of the Gullkiller, an unscrupulous person who does not exceed any limits because he has no limits. The coldness in the character´s eyes never leaves you. "
Åbo Underrättelser
”A musty and mighty premiere"
Nya Åland
”Colossal sea drama on a tiny stage”
Ålandstidningen
"Between the endpoints the director Arn-Henrik Blomqvist skilfully line up a series of closeup scenes of both the good and the magnificent, the evil and the malicious people with sea and shipping as the common denominator.
The end result is with praise approved. "
Ostra Nyland
”He has done more than that, he has refined the letters to a two-hour play that touches, upsets, scares, calms and leaves no one in peace. After seeing it I am deeply impressed with not only Blomqvist's creative super talent but also with the effort of the three actors.”
