The performance is based on the author’s, Eva Dons, personal experience with breast cancer and the course of the disease. It´s a performance of life as a sick person, through texts taken from diary notes, music, joik, physical and visual expressions. It isn´t always so easy to find the right words in the face of illness, and it isn´t always words that are needed. The author wants to create a cross-border artistic project about cancer, which expands our understanding of what it is to be sick and which explores both linguistic and non-linguistic aspects in the face of illness.

Actor Mary Sarre and musician Roger Ludvgisen perform the performance with lyrics, songs, joik and music.
