Directed by Saga Gärde, the work explores grief, identity, and recognition through the lens of transnational adoption, challenging dominant narratives of rescue and gratitude.

The work is produced through AMFI––a platform based in Stockholm that seeks to expand the performing arts through language, opening space for new narratives in contemporary drama. Amfi aims at new dramatic writing rooted in a literary tradition that understands language as both innovation and resistance, and works to introduce new narratives and collective utopias to the stage. Together with the Norwegian partner Cornestone, they cultivate an infrastructure—through shared writing programs for playwrights, guest performances, and artistic exchange—that allows new works, conversations, and encounters to emerge between stages and the literary field across the Nordic region.

Saga Gärde as a director and Amfi's ARTISTIC LEADER, has long worked with experimental performing arts as a means to renegotiate political narratives and create interactive platforms for societal dialogue. Through the platform Amfi, she has developed several works that combine new dramatic writing with urgent social issues. In dialogue with the ensemble, she searches for a stage language through which a collective story can unfold.
