FLORA

WHERE CARE BLOOMS AND WITHERS

Nurse Flora stands on the hospital roof, smoking. The snow falls. Her shift is over, but it won’t let her go. In fragments, she relives her far too long night shift on a chronically understaffed ward. Memories are unclear. Situations blur together. Faces and voices appear and disappear. She remembers lying so convincingly that she became afraid of herself. Flora holds other people’s lives in her hands, yet she is simultaneously caught between her own good intentions and the pressured healthcare system. On this fateful night shift, the pressure becomes too much. Patients, relatives, doctors, receptionists, and porters pull at her from all sides. Flora lets go and must watch responsibility, her own self-image, and human lives slip from her grasp.

FLORA is performed in a mix of Danish and English, with all dialogue accompanied by integrated subtitles so the audience can follow the performance regardless of language skills.

FLORA is an international co-production between the internationally acclaimed Scottish company Vanishing Point and the Aarhus-based (and international) Teater Katapult.
