A poetic dream play about an important name in Nordic modernism: the Finnish-Swedish poet Edith Södergran (1892-1923). The play follows her life and work in light of the significant events, trends and figures of the time, including the Russian Revolution, Futurism, Nietzsche, Freud, Meierhold and Stravinsky. With biomechanical movements, King Ubu-like scenarios and nightly dialogues with Zarathustra, Claus Flygare has written an ingenious play with large scenic opportunities.
