Description
The Girl’s room is an existential horror comedy play which takes place in a girls' bedroom during 24 hours and has a limited line-up of actors. The focus is on psychological relations, and with black humour Marjun portrays how the past and present, in an irrational combination, influence the self-image and behaviour of the main character.
A literary double work together with The Karma Goat, each with its own expression and character in two different genres. The works can be read in any order, and are not linearly or causally linked, but form rather two interlocking works, in which the dialogues of the drama, the movements of the poems, the states of mind and the physical spaces grow into each other.
