Written by August Strindberg

Adapted and directed by Garcess Kanaan

In this intense psychological drama, a man’s authority—and sanity—begin to unravel as he clashes with his wife over the future of their daughter. Strindberg’s timeless battle of wills is reimagined through a modern lens, where love, control, and manipulation blur the line between truth and madness. Garcess Kanaan’s adaptation brings new depth to a haunting portrait of a father losing grip on his world
