This is an untold story from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, reconstructed by Jesper Halle. We follow the “three small children” of Nora and Helmer and their comments to the events in the original source. The text works in two levels: On the story level the children have names and ages: Ivar (7 years old), Bob (5 years old) and Emmy (2 years old) - their lines are linguistically older. On the narrator’s level the children are adults. Halle’s play is an entertaining fantasy, toying around with the theatrical forms.
