FA(R)EN" ("DA(MNE)D

Hanne Ramsdal

Hanne Ramsdal´s work "FA(R)EN" ("DA(MNE)D") is based on interviews with men who has not been allowed to spend as much time as they wish with their children after break-ups. She has a personal history, as she did almost spend no time with her dad after her parents divorced. As a grown-up and mother of two children, she is left with questions concerning parenthood and child-sharing, questions that she wants to discuss in a dialogue with Lena Hellblom Sjögren at the Friday morning session.

Hanne Ramsdal is a Norwegian novelist and playwright with a master in Theatre from the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo, Norway. She has written several plays staged in festivals, theaters and at the art scene: like The National annual Autumn Exhibition and Munch Museum in Oslo. Her work is often based on documentary material, and she tends to write plays that reflect the actual reality we live in, especially in terms of diversity and representation.
