Twenty Minutes After Death/Død Mands Kvinde
Featuring Kendra Lou, Anthony Aguilar, Sidse Ploug, Amanda Johnson, and Jeff House.
Translator Nina Sokol will be in attendance.
Written by Thomas Markmann (Denmark, 2009), translated by Nina Sokol (Denmark), & directed by Anna Zastrow (Sweden/United States). Fed up with the trivialities of conventional relationships, Helena, an attractive and well-educated young Danish woman, decides to write to an American inmate, serving his ninth year on death row.
What begins as an innocent flirtation turns into an extraordinary love story, in which Helena finds herself losing control not only of her daily life, but also of herself.
Twenty Minutes After Death is a gripping play, filled with humor, which exposes the modern dilemmas inherent to living in a subjective world where dreams and reality may suddenly merge.
