Following a person from childhood to adulthood and the choices made through life. The world is at war. We wish to believe that choices made by individuals, in fact can change the the world. But still we ask ourselves the question:
Do I Matter?
“A deep and meaningful performance of high artistic quality.” “Challenges the spectator, forces the audience to involve itself, interpret.” “With simple, but strong instruments and through her silent but physical presence, the actor manages to earn every dot on the dice.” It got 5 out of 6 possible dots. (Fredrikstad Blad, Norway)
