Conversation
Inner monologues – crises – surface
Three friends have gathered at a cafe in a small university town. They talk about today’s topic of discussion: whether to reintroduce preparatory courses in philosophy at the country’s university. Under the surface, however, the conversation is about entirely different things. The three friends are in different kinds of crises in life. What happens beneath the surface is expressed by monologues representing their inner thoughts. The conversation keeps going.

Down to the river
Friendship – Close-to-home – Storytelling
Down To the River (Ned till älven) is a low key scenario about close friendship through the different stages of life. It is a friendship where you are there for one another and dare to ask for help when life fails you. It is a friendship that changes over time, some for better and some for worse, but there will always be someone there to hold your back. During a summer night down by the river we’ll create and share this friendship. It will be a story worth telling.

My name is Harmony
Xylophones – Non-verbal – Rebirth
The gong sounded once. It was time. We all stood up, collected our instruments and placed ourselves, kneeling, in a circle. This was us. Five notes. Four deaths. One rebirth. My name is Harmony is a non-verbal scenario about exploring human communication and emotions through music. And yes, it’s all xylophones.
