"Shockingly good about child suicide"
"Extremely high, incredibly close"
"An important and particularly well-composed performance that should be listened to"
A young teacher experiences that one of her students, an eleven year old girl, takes her own life. Now she is going to have a meeting with the girl’s parents and the school`s headmaster. In her bag, she carries something she had forgotten to tell them about.
11 YEARS is a story about love, loneliness and displacement of responsibility.
As part of the preparatory work for 11 YEARS, Goksøyr & Martens interviewed parents, children, researchers, lawyers and school – employees. The story takes place in a school yard and involves thirty children and seven grown up actors. The audience sits on a four-metre-high scaffolding that encircles the stage. Each has received a personal headset that conveys situations and conversations taking place in a classroom inside the school.
