Details

Strindberg's tragedy is re-imagined for the digital age as theatrical performance and film converge, lending fresh perspective to a classic story. Aristocratic Julie and Jean, a servant in her household, are entangled in a sexually charged game. But as their dangerous pursuit escalates, this production finds a new focus. For it is Jean's fianc?e, Kristin, a cook of few words, who is given a voice in this moving adaptation that uses real-time film and live sound effects to track the life-changing events through her eyes. Running time: 75mins with no interval. Age guidance 14+. Performed in German with English surtitles.
