Lid: "I am motivated by the possibility of going back in time in order to reach towards what perhaps lies before us." (interview, Capital Cultural)

"I am motivated by the opportunity to go back in time to reach towards what may lie ahead."

This is how Tore Vagn Lid summarizes an artistry in which theater functions as a form of research – a way of examining both history and the present.

In this interview with Andrei Serban in Capital Cultural, he reflects on artistic method, music, politics and dramaturgy, and puts into words many of the ideas that underlie, among others, 03:08:38 – States of Exception and The Trigger System : how the experiences of the past can help us understand our own time and imagine what still lies ahead of us.
