Jakten på genene* (The hunt for the genes) by Kari Bunæs is a monologue about searching for who one is. Will Maja find her answers? Is it so important to know? Must she live on with unanswered questions? Jakten på genene is about identity. Have you ever felt that your genes were attempting to strangle you, or that they're jumping out? Trying to trick you? That is how Maja feels!
Jakten på genene by Kari Bunæs was performed during the festival Twist 08, in collaboration between Det Åpne Teater (The Open Theatre), The Norwegian Touring Theatre and Nordic Black Theatre.
