Nana Morks performs the monologue 16:29, a new Danish drama that won the Talent category at the Reumert awards. Set in the poorest part of France, the piece explores the death drive among young people living in what feels like open-air prisons, where many cope by listening to romantic pop and dreaming of traditional family life.
Beneath that surface, a generation that has had enough is beginning to stir and wants change. The story is built around a 18-year-old woman who livestreams her suicide, watched by more than a thousand people, and the piece asks what it means to look away.
Directed by Anna Malzer, with lighting design by Mads Eckert and sound design by Nanna-Karina Schleimann.
