Turn Turtle Turn

/ Performance / 12 yrs + / zeitraumexit @ T6/18 / 

Interwoven with song and fragments of movement, Annika recounts, in a manner that is both moving and unflinching, her longing to belong to both her new and old families; her reflections on men and women, her own body and those of others; motherhood and the process of becoming independent; childhood, youth and old age; and, last but not least, her desire to be loved unconditionally and to be able to love unconditionally.
