Kliniken, the seminal work of Swedish playwright Lars Norén, is a picture of flawed but endearing humanity, set in what could be a psychiatric hospital or health centre. The people who live there are anorexic, schizophrenic, depressed. They have a dysfunctional relationship with ‘normality’, and so society prefers to hide them away behind four walls. Directed by Julie Duclos, this contemporary vignette has been tailored to the actors and the unique space-time of the theatre.
An associate artist with TNB, Julie Duclos is a director who sees past appearances. Whether working on texts by Maurice Maeterlinck (Pelléas et Mélisande, presented at TNB in 2020), or here with Lars Norén, she reveals interior lives, going beyond words to find what is hidden behind tears or a smile.
