Everyone die
One day
Not today
Or tomorrow
A long time
A long long way away
Mum says
Everyone (mummydaddydavidme) dies
Everyone dies
Everyone dies
Go and play
Everyone dies
Don’t think about it
Alistair McDowall’s monologue compresses an entire existence into a rapid, poetic
flow, where repetition and rhythm mirror the patterns and chaos of thought and
memory, drawing us into the protagonist’s inner world.
In all of it, Lilja Fredrikson explores the ever-shifting present at the intersection of
language and movement. Together with choreographer Björn Säfsten and director
Nina Rudawski, they create a visceral, humorous and intimate portrait of a life through
a choreographed score.

The performance is designed to be performed in different types of rooms – from stage to more everyday
spaces such as libraries and public places, art galleries, museums or hotel bars. The aim is that all of it is performed
at the intersection between the text, the space and the audience. Brunnsgatan 4 is the first stop.
