MY SISTER IS A MERMAID

Teatret Gruppe 38 and teater Rum

We are given a place in the structure of the family we are born into.
This place or role we are given effects our encounters with life’s many other communities.

Do we have the right to join?
Are we afraid of what others think of us?
Do we dare to show our true selves, or do we automatically keep the position we were once given?

Once upon a time there was a boy who was often overlooked in a busy family.

In this monologue, Actor Lars Dammark from teater Rum delivers an intense and universal story about family dynamics – and about belonging.

Artistic Director at Teatret Gruppe 38 Bodil Alling directs the performance, which is both vulnerable, thoughtful and full of warmth.

The play is written by Bodil Alling and Lars Dammark who received The Danish Playwright Prize 2025 for “My Sister is A Mermaid”.

Lars Dammark and Bodil Alling about the performance

It is a true adventure. We are preoccupied with the tones, or the mark, we carry with us in life from the family structure we each come from. For better or for worse.
