Reviews
„I put on pink, warm socks in the foyer of the Hafnarfjörður Theatre and walked into a pink, soft world … all-embracing warmth, softness and delicate humour. The same goes for the many vignettes the four actors present of life from birth to death, mostly from the lives of mothers: the joy and the difficulty of becoming a mother, being a mother, the relationship between mothers and daughters. Texts gathered from their own experience and that of others. The theatrical solutions for the dialogues, experiences and dreams are inventive; boxing, wrestling, circus, dance and song are skilfully woven into a whole that is not a line but rather a circle.“
