A Story of A House That Turned into A Dot

Teatret Gruppe 38

A story about how long the road home is, when anger has made you run away.

She became so hopping mad
She became so fizzling furious
She became so livid with rage
that she opened the window and climbed down the ladder
and then she ran.

She ran and ran and ran
And ranranran
And she ran there and she ran around
And ran over and ran under
And ran down down down down down
And ran upupupupup
And ran forward and ran along
And ran of of of
And when she turned
The house had turned into a dot

The performance manages to create a captivating universe.

Enchanting forty minutes of theatre.

A true Gruppe 38 production with the theatre's usual aesthetics and creativity - and international format. It's just dreamy.

The adventure embodies such an elemental feeling as anger - and let's us recall and reflect about that state of mind ... It is first class theatre.

We sense the performance with each fiber of our body - through a unique combination of verbal narrative, music, masks, poetic shadows and beautiful imagery.

Once again, the theatre woman Bodil Alling shines with her charismatic voice. This performance is about a girl that becomes so angry to be cheated for a strawberry that she runs away from home. Told like a puppet theatre without puppets – with disturbing shadows that also makes the audience dream about running away. All the way to that spot, where a house becomes a dot.
