This production immerses the audience into the world of “The Snow Queen”. In this world of enchanting sounds and puppets, Gerda is completely alone. The audience sees her just on her own. Like a mirror, she reflects other characters and follows these reflections. Gerda is still young in her memory. She doesn’t notice the passage of time and she keeps looking for Kai. Gerda’s Room is about searching and fearing. It’s about an eternity that is always ready to meet us. We put this sense of eternity into a word and breathe it out on a frozen window so we can finally see something dear to us which we have long lost. Like our own bodies, a room we inhabit reflects everything we have experienced. We may know the fairy tale about Gerda’s journey - but did Gerda really go out to look for Kai? People, roads, strange places... What if she embarked on that journey without actually leaving her room? Gerda’s story is in brackets, turned into a metaphor. The production is a visual and conceptual transformation, a memory play that reconstructs the past. And it’s open to interpretation.
