Her starting point: The Glass Menagerie, a play by Tennessee Williams first staged in 1944, and in particular the character of Laura. Living apart from the world, she devotes much of her time to her collection of small glass animals. During the play, it is revealed that she does not attend the typing classes her mother has enrolled her in – she only showed up on the first day and then pretends to keep attending. In reality, she spends her days in town, walking, visiting museums and going to the cinema, like a kind of theatre within theatre. Her movements and this way of occupying time can thus be read as a form of performative critique of work and productivity.
Pursuing this idea, Eugene Sundelius von Rosen imagines a monologue that explores the memory of places and the links between architecture, speech and text.
