In Yes? by Freelanceteateret we encounter two women. One is depressed, the other happy, despite hardship and distress. The two women enter a dialogue and through a series of absurd sequences and exchanges of experiences, the situation is slowly turned; the one who wanted to offer her support becomes the one in need of support. Eventually they both sit on the bench. Now the question is: Which one will pull the trigger?
