STAGE DESIGN

My name is Susan is a play about alzheimer’s disease and identity, but above all a play about four women and their strong friendship.

The scenography is elegant and minimalistic. It’s an interpretation of Susan’s mind, gradually taken over by alzheimer’s disease.

The space is divided by a white fringe curtain, full of holes, like Susan’s memory. The furniture keeps changing place, and the black shiny floor reminds us of the inevitably approaching death.Premiered in 2018 in Seinäjoki City Theatre
