Wednesday May 24, 19:00-21:15Anna has been hired as a temp at the newspaper in Örebro and has reluctantly moved back in with her mother. Her hometown is shaken by a series of violent sexual assaults and rapes and, in her role as a journalist, Anna encounters the fear and imposed limitations experienced by the women of the city. Why should they be the ones to stay at home? Why has the perpetrator not been found? The frustration leads to violence when a group of women take matters into their own hands and Anna has to re-evaluate her relationship with her hometown, her work and her past. She realizes that she will have to make a choice. Whose reality is she going to write?

Befrielsefronten, Maria Sveland’s debut play, raises the issue of how sexual violence perpetrated by men affects our society, in a play full of anger, warmth and choral music.
