In Seksuell Empati vol. 2 – Identitet* (Sexual Empathy Vol. 2 – Identity) Flaatenbjørk kompani examines how it affects us to consider ourselves and others as representatives for different identities and categories rather than fellow human beings. The production is characterised by a strong involvement for interhuman communication and is an independent sequel to the previous production by the company (called Seksuell Empati vol. 1 – Handlinger* or literally Sexual Empathy Vol. 1 – Actions).

Seksuell Empati vol. 2 - Identitet is a production in the intersection between digital media and theatre. Contributing via video, playing themselves, are psychologist Dagfinn Mørkrid Thøgersen and Håvard Øvregård.
