Synopsis

One of August Strindberg's most “powerful” monologues is transformed into a new play, a modern “play for two” through a heretical adaptation that illuminates the theme of infidelity on both sides. But also the topic of emotional abuse of two women who loved the same man, losing their power. Wife and mistress meet on Christmas Eve, in a coffee bar and through repeated challenges, they expose their lives and their roles and are measured to the last for who was the winner and “the strongest”. Two erotic female roles, two different views on life, two ways to love, hate and be a woman. Object: the lover and husband, who although absent, still dominates their thinking and heart. A man who wants them both because he doesn't consider them passengers of the same seat on the train of his life.
