Divan

Divan – The Diva – is a psychological relationship drama that happens both too early and too late. 

Divan is written by the world famous playwright Michail Durnenkov as a commissioned work for Klockriketeatern.

The skillfully constructed poetic text is written specifically for actors Ylva Ekblad and Jon Henriksen, who really get to shine on stage in this play directed by Dan Henriksson. 

Divan is full of sudden twists and turns, depth of the characters, difficult ethical choices and non-obvious conclusions. The production has been praised for being carefully directed for the stage, as well as for it’s intense visual design and cinematic sound world. And in the centre of it all: the art of acting.

The plot centres around two characters – She and He – simultaneously both victims and perpetrators. She is twenty years older than him, she is an actress and he is a journalist. Different memories surface when they meet in a battle against each other and themselves. Both of them promise to tell the truth. But is there a way out of the labyrinth of memories?
