The sky is light blue and cloud free.
The seagulls are mostly light and loud.
Fish are mostly silvery and slippery.
People are mostly a bit reddish.

Pipsa Lonka’s Fyra dagar av närhet (Four Days of Closeness) is a posthumanist play about seagulls and people.

The events take place at a seaside hotel and its vicinity. A school of fish has washed up on the beach. A flock of seagulls circulate hungrily in the sky. The hotel guests and birds observe each other but avoid contact.

Fyra dagar av närhet is a play about living together with animals that are not wild, nor tame, but something in between. It is a play about living in co-existence with humanity, which both gives and takes. It is a play about seagulls and humans sharing an ecosystem that is neither natural nor fully artificial.
