Udsigt/ The View
(English see below)
Hvordan får man plads til 12 slædehunde i en treværelses lejlighed?
I 1960'erne og 70'erne besluttede den danske regering at nedlægge bosættelser i Grønland og flytte befolkningen til betonboliger i byerne, som led i urbaniseringen af det grønlandske folk. Livet ændrede sig drastisk; familier blev splittet, deres historier blev glemt.
Udsigt er en stærk og rørende forestilling om en kvinde og hendes mand, der bliver tvunget til at forlade deres hjem. Det er en historie om kærlighed, sorg og håb; om deres nye dagligdag, om slædehundene de måtte aflive, om glæden ved at få rindende vand…
Forestillingen giver indblik i 50 års nyere grønlandsk historie og forholdet mellem Danmark og Grønland, og kaster samtidig lys over noget, som er sket for mange oprindelige folk rundt om i verden.
Monologen er skrevet og opført af Makka Kleist, en af Grønlands førende skuespillere og dramatikere, og er instrueret af Hanne Trap Friis. Udsigt havde premiere i Nuuk, Grønland i en af de bygninger, der blev brugt i urbaniseringsprocessen.
… et forløb, der i et fint dramaturgisk forløb skildrer, hvor galt det kan gå, når en dansk mand
med rygsækken fyldt med problemer, han vil flygte fra, slår sig løs i Grønland …”Udsigt” giver
indsigt.
Grønlandsk Teater giver blanke øjne du kan spejle dit danske hjerte i.

ENGLISH:
How do you fit 12 sled dogs into a 3-room apartment?
In the 1960’s and 70’s the Danish government decided to close down settlements in Greenland and relocate its people to concrete buildings in towns, as part of their efforts to urbanize thenative people of Greenland. Life changed dramatically; families were split up, their stories forgotten.
The View is a strong and touching performance about a woman and her husband being forced to leave their home. It is a story about love, grief and hope; about the new daily life, the sled dogs they had to put down, the joy of getting running water…
The performance gives insight into 50 years of recent Greenlandic history and the relationship between Denmark and Greenland, shedding light on something that has happened to many indigenous people around the world.
The monologue is written and performed by Makka Kleist, one of Greenland’s leading actresses and dramatists, and directed by Hanne Trap Friis. The View premiered in Nuuk, Greenland, in one of the buildings that was used in the urbanization process.
