We Are Mammals

We Are Mammals explores what it means to be a little on the sidelines - unglamorous everyday moments with spaghetti under socks and fish sticks in lunch boxes, juggling small children, teenagers and a career while wanting a functioning adult life. Relationships that creak. Being in the middle of life, noticing how you age while watching your parents grow old, fall ill and die. Everything hidden behind the polished surface, the sudden voids and depths of daily life - and what it means to be feeling, fragile and afraid.

Annika Norlin's musical universe meets Ada Berger's contemporary analysis in a performance that makes space for the complex, unconscious and enigmatic - the imperfect, broken and clipped-wing aspects we otherwise suppress. Annika's music and lyrics have never before been dramatized for the theatre stage, and Ada Berger has written the script based on these texts with her eye for humour and existential questions. The performance is directed by Johanna Salander, artistic director of Västerbottensteatern, with sound design and musical arrangements by Ann-Sofie Lundin/ANSO Min stora sorg.

Cast: Annika Nordin, Fanny Färingö, Niklas Larsson Lirell, Andreas Anterot
