Göteborgs Stadsteater

What is love really? And how can it last?


She wants to save what once was, he thinks everything is fine the way it is. But what is love really? Like safe Mondays in November or burning like a new love? Monica Isakstuen's Han den andre is a hilarious, sensual and moving play about the sadness when laughter disappears and about the courage to start talking to each other again.

Around the characters Me and You dances a dazzling and provocative happy couple, He the other and She the other. Their life is like a movie: intense sex, spontaneous trips and Instagram-friendly breakfasts. The comparison is brutal.

With laughter, arguments and misunderstandings, everyday life is depicted where passion has gone up in smoke and where self-doubt creeps under the skin. Could life have been different?
