Over

By Mari Hesjedal
In collaboration with Dramatikkens Hus and Ibsen Scope.

A short poetic text about belief and expectations, about the weight of ingrained patterns and unwritten rules of behaviour. About forbidden love and a new life forming inside a woman’s body.

Inspired by Ibsen’s Brand, the landscape of Western Norway, family history and the feminine perspective.
