Doors

Eline Arbo directs Michael Cunningham's The Hours. The Hours unfolds over one day in the lives of three women, at three different points in the 20th century. One is a book publisher, another a housewife, and the third is author Virginia Woolf. All three grapple with the question of how to be themselves in a world that feels like a straitjacket.

In Eline Arbo's direction, Cunningham's loving literary observation is visible on stage. She creates a world in which a writer shares space with his characters.

Kloosterboer was responsible for the construction of the set, including the large rotating disc on the stage.
