Harlequin
Harlequin is a collaborative piece between Losti, Blaue Frau (FI) and ÖFA-kollektivet (SE).
Are Harlequin Novels pointless or is there a way to examine the genre with genuine and serious interest? Is it possible to find answers in these novels to the dilemmas faced by modern, hetero normative, monogamous couples?
The performance premiered in June 2019 at Hangö Teaterträff -festival in Finland. The performance received excellent reviews and won the annual Antonia-prize at the festival.
