At the website of The National Stage the following, among other things, is written about Plutselig står jeg igjen med meg selv i hånden og ser utover byen* (Suddenly, again I stand with myself in my hand, looking out over town):

"Follow your dream, people say. But where do our dreams take us?

We talk of the Dream Man, the Dream Journey, the Dream House, the Dream Job. Have we created our own dreams, or do other people tell us what to dream of?

In this production, there is room for all kinds of dreams. The small ones and the big ones, the strange ones, the wild ones, the innocent ones, the secret ones, the private ones and the professional ones.

We meet five actresses who have shared their dreams, longings, hopes and experiences with the Danish theatre maker Kamilla Wargo Brekling. The text is devised during rehearsals. Brekling is known for her powerful and surprising productions, in which she uses love and humour to make pointed statements about modern lives. The production will take us into the explosive universe of dreams, and maybe, we'll understand the lives and the world we live in right now a little bit better.

For dreams are not just dreams, they are also reflections of the time we live in - and of ourselves and our places in reality."
