DIVAN
Divan, a new play written for Klockriketeatern by one of the most prominent playwrights of our time Mikhail Durnenkov.
Divan is both a poetic text and a psychological relationship drama. Two characters — He and She — are simultaneously both victims and perpetrators. She is 15-20 years older than him; she is an actress, he is a journalist.
This performance is full of sudden twists and turns, psychological depth of the characters, difficult ethical choices and non-obvious conclusions.
