A Twilight Zone-like experience. World premiere of new work by Denmark's leading playwright.
The audience is lured into what appears to be a performance that proves to be a rehearsal. There are an older actress, a younger actress and a playwright/director who takes all the male roles. The first act introduces issues of coldness and abandonment between the young actress and her mother. In the second, World War II overshadows their interaction as it is revealed that the younger actress's father, a POW, had been driven to suicide by pressures dating back to the war. In the third, the scene shifts to their dystopic future which resolves into a bisexual biracial present bringing full circle the tensions of the preceding acts.
In each case author Stig Dalager snaps us into a Pirandellian dimension, revealing the pressures of the three individuals who are shaping the plays. The audience is challenged to guess what is real, what is a play, and whether the characters' scars could ever be healed.
