Hide and You Shall Seek is a serious game about hiding while simultaneously trying to reveal oneself. In a labyrinth without walls you are invited into a deconstruction of clichés and expectations connected to the autobiographical genre - the ambiguity and fragility connected to identifying oneself. Through the experience of living with a chronic illness and being queer the notion of ‘coming out’ is investigated in various ways by challenging the borders of the visible and invisible, the likely and the unlikely.

“Linn Haldrup offered a dynamic piece of highly physical theatre dealing with the real, invisible, imaginary, and potential limitations and categorizations of the body. The piece playfully yet with wild profoundness places the audience members into a kaleidoscope of childhood reminiscence and confession. The performance drops you into a tug of war between your own judgements of yourself and others, and multidimensional fantasies; all the time hovering in a refusal to identify with potentially reductive labels by making them manifest.”
