National Theatret presents The Caucasian Chalk Ring. The production runs through November 14.
A chalk ring on the floor and a child in the middle. Two mothers fighting for the boy's right hold him in each arm. When the signal goes, they will snatch him. One avoids him from getting hurt. Is the strongest his right mother?
When the war breaks out and the governor is killed, the maid Grusje saves his little son from being killed, while the child's mother flees. Gravel sacrifices everything for the boy, including his great love. When the war is over, and the hour of settlement has come, the question is who the boy's real mother is.
The German iconic playwright Bertolt Brecht wrote The Caucasian Chalk Ring in 1945 in response to the atrocities of World War II. It is the award-winning and forward-thinking director Johannes Holmen Dahl who stages Brecht's poetic plays about love, law and morality. To the rhythm of suggestive drums, the audience is served a drivingly told theatrical play, where the actors are thrown into and out of roles and situations. It is about all-consuming and self-destructive motherly love, empathy and devotion in an icy, cynical and hard world.
