About the performance: I am the wind is a 2007 play by the Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse. It tells about two men, The One and The Other, who travel by boat until The One commits suicide by drowning himself.
I am the wind... One man or two men... Men or women... China, Norway or Moldova... None of these matters. What really matters is the voyage of living our meditations on our inner world and life itself.
