In Gress* (Grass)Mari Flønes and Luis Della Mea fill the stage with clothes. For Flønes and Mea the comical, ironic and satirical are central. The production provides piles of clothes, but also piles of emotions and moods. Clothes create identity, roles, gender stereotypes and emotions. But they also create a spiral of consumption and piles of garbage in a world in which production costs in poor parts of the world are low.
