Caught in a cycle of love, loss and intense need, a young couple spiral out of a difficult relationship and into a nightmare. A rushed and awkward visit from the Young Man's parents spurs the Young Woman to go out for the evening, leaving the Young Man paralyzed by his need for her love. A routine questioning upon her return reveals a challenge neither one of them is prepared to confront. Filled with rhythm, poetry and sparse language, this play lives in limbo between reality and a world of symbolism.
In 2023, playwright Jon Fosse was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable."
