Description
A boy on his way to manhood struggles to step into the expected role of seducer. A mother watches her son with increasing concern. A daughter has become a grown woman, and a father is forced to reevaluate what fatherhood means to him.
What power structures do we unwittingly re-produce by inflicting them on our children? Is it impossible to be a good parent?
In this stunning debut play, Isakstuen grapples with how easily the lines may be blurred between care and abuse, and how easily love can tip over into something much darker.
Reviews
‘‘A truly thought-provoking, profound text!’’
‘’A good play should hurt you a little. Or a lot, like Monica Isakstuen’s debut play’’
‘’Guilt and innocence, love and forbidden feelings, life and death – Monica Isakstuen’s SE PÅ MIG NÅR JEG TALER TIL DIG is an extraordinary chamber play’’
