Description
A family wakes to a seemingly ordinary summer morning. But something has un-tethered them from normalcy, and unreality bleeds into their lives.
Awarded the Norwegian Ibsen Award in 2023, ‘This is Not Us’ was hailed by the jury as ‘a singular and expertly crafted text about grief and loss, and about the lived reality of close relationships.’
Reviews
‘‘a singular and expertly crafted text about grief and loss, and about the lived reality of close relationships.’’
‘’her text is multi-layered and moves seamlessly between realism and dreamscape […] it creates space for our own thoughts, fantasies, interpretations, and woes.’’
