Jakop Ahlbom Company

Two couples, seemingly close-knit, become entangled in a web of desires, guilt and deceit. Is it pure passion, an escape from the grind, or a deep lack that drives them? Secrets are whispered and truths twisted. How much remains hidden between lovers and friends? And what responsibility do you take for your own actions?

At Jakop Ahlbom Company's request, Marijke Schermer wrote the new theatre text We Don't Live Here Anymore, inspired by Andre Dubus‘ novella In the bedroom and Richard Yates’ novel Revolutionary Road, among others. In the performance, the audience hears the dialogues as voice-over of the characters, while the performers express their inner emotions in Ahlbom's unique movement language.
