BERGEN is a dark comedy set in Norway in the near future. We follow rock musicians Tor, Hans, Erik, and Inger, who vow to find a name for their band that reflects America's collapse. While they argue over politics and art, they drink, erotically fantasize, and break into song. An unforeseen event sends the band into a tailspin with accusations of betrayal, drunken confessions, and a shocking act of violence. BERGEN is a play about youthful ambitions, America's betrayal, and creating art in the face of a world that is falling apart.
