”Anatomy of a Suicide is the story of three women, Carol, Anna and Bonnie, told in three simultaneous planes of action, which form a tapestry of grief alltogether. Events from three different periods – the 1970s, the 1990s and the 2030s – occur simultaneously on stage.
Exploring their inner devastation, at least two of the women are determined to cut their existential thread. The themes that govern the performance – depression, anxiety, loneliness, the status of women – are extremely present in our cultural space and bring to the spectator’s attention the effects they have on those who experience them, but also on the people close to them (…)”
