Strindberg met actress Harriet Bosse when she was 22 and he, 52. She became his muse and third wife, but they parted within a year. Her life had barely begun, but he wished to rule it from the vantage point of 30 years of bitter experience. Yet something drew her back, first in body, then only in spirit. She understood that their love could only flourish from a safe distance. Nevertheless, he wrote roles for Harriet that allowed her to blossom on stage: Indra’s daughter in The Dream Play, Judith in The Dance of Death and Eleonora in Easter.

In this solo drama, Harriet paints a vivid portrait of their lives together and relives the roles he created for her.

Written, directed and performed by Talia Pura.
