Alchemy, mystical signs and hypnagogic experiences. Strinberg’s Occult Diary is a strange writing, wherein his search for context and meaning raises its desperate head. In this monologue Hirdwall uses material from the book’s third part; Strindberg has just been left by Harriet Bosse. His heart is broken, but Strindberg experiences a telepathic relation to her. It’s incomprehensible for him to understand that she doesn’t want anything to do with him, since they have just spent the night together? Dreams and reality float together and everything that surrounds him is of great importance. World premiered in May 2012 at Dramaten.
