This autumn the project "Sweatshop" received funding for project development.
The project is based on true events.
On the 6th of january the english newspaper Guardian wrote :
Turkish police have uncovered a factory producing fake lifejackets, shining a light on a booming cottage industry that has emerged as a byproduct of the refugee crisis and heightened the risks for those hoping to reach Europe by sea.
Police allegedly seized 1,263 lifejackets filled with non-buoyant materials from an illegal workshop in Izmir that employed two Syrian children, according to Agence France-Presse and Dogan news agencies.

Since then NOOR productions dramatist Tale Næss has been working on a script telling the story about the life wests and the girl producing them.
Næss is a Research Fellow at Oslo National Academy of the Arts the Theatre Department, and this november a workshop was held on the text she is developing inspired by the events in Izmir.
Three dancers, a director and three actors took part in the workshop that explored the meetingpoint between theatre and dance, storytelling and situations, playacting and recitation.
