About the theater performance:
"Ikke Uden Min Mor":
Ekstremt rørende. Ekstremt intimt. Ekstremt. Autentisk.

About the theater performance:
"Pavlovs Tispe":
I stedet fikk jeg som tilhører ta del i disse erfaringene på en måte som ga meg som tilhører et levende bilde av hva som foregikk, som om forestillingen fortsatte så lenge hun var på scenen. Var det noen som sa «politisk teater»? Glem det, og se Pavlovs tispe i stedet.
