Short about ’Allmänt snö’:
”Two women, two men – one couple.
The feeling of ’going nowhere fucking fast’ is something HE’s struggling with. The longing for ’being everything you should be’ is something SHE’s struggling with. To fit in, to be enough, to satisy yourself and everyone else is something both of them are constantly fighting.
The struggle about succeeding living a joint couplely life and the houndred other lives they should, they could, they have to live in our fantastic free individualistic society.
A story about four people in different time sets, different room sets, about one incident, one common life.
What do you do when you’ve been contemplating a whole life and one incident makes you realise that all your contemplating has been in vain? And when that incident is taken away from you, how do you move on? Is it even possible?”
Åsa Olsson wrote and directed the play ’Allmänt snö’, with it’s premiere at Dramalabbet in 2010. Starring Meliz Karlge, Niklas Engdahl, Erik Magnusson och Sandra Andreis. The set design was made by Johanna Mårtensson.
