In "Lost in the Horizon", we meet a constellation of characters with a connection to borders. We see how they seek a new or different horizon, and how they in their own ways fight for their dreams and existence. The performance is built on questions related to human worth, democracy and emigration. The themes have been explored in collective processes with Norwegian and international artists.

Considering Samovarteateret's geographical placement in Kirkenes, it is natural to cooperate with performing arts communities in the Barents region and other border regions across Europe. Lost in the Horizon was shown only once in Petrozavodsk and once in Kirkenes. Samovarteateret started planning a bigger tour in March 2020, but was interrupted by the pandemic. On February 24th 2022, Russia started a horrible war against Ukraine, and the connection with Samovarteateret's Russian collaborators was broken. Reality caught up with Lost in the Horizon, and the performance has now been reworked. Its message and theme about human worth, democracy and emigration is now even more important to bring to the audience.
