Hav

by Jon Fosse

I stykket Hav møter vi Skipsføraren, Gitarspelaren, to menn og to kvinner. Stykket er umiskjenneleg Fosse. Vi er i ein mellomtilstand, eit grenseland, i eit ingenting der tid og stad er oppløyst, men Skipsføraren styrer og Gitarspelaren speler.

Mmhh... Kanskje det første stykket (dette er et skuespill) jeg ikke helt fikk sansen for. Det er VELDIG Fosse, men likevel. Det gav meg ikke så mye. Kanskje fordi jeg ikke var med på premissene?
