In Krøll med alfa by De Damene the audience meets Alfa, a totally ordinary girl who meets Krøll (literally: Curl) on the internet. Together they play role plays. They meet weird, funny and exciting people and they travel around the world in a click.

The two frolic in a world where imagination is the only thing setting a limit for the crazy experiences. The question is just: Who is Krøll, really – and who is Alfa?
