About

Bohtos dál dat beana

A story about the love between a man and his dog, about blood revenge and the restless waiting.

“Shoot the dog, I say. And I see her standing and looking down. The dog cannot be killed, it is not possible to kill dogs. She says the dog has been shot. Someone has killed the dog. He has shot the dog and he is going to die. Tonight he will die." Jon Fosse himself has said this about the dog as a motif: "I think that the dog has something to do with languageless understanding, and perhaps I try to approach, to write out, a kind of languageless understanding, for example in the breaks in the play. Having said that, it sounds a bit wrong. I think we must be preoccupied with something, waiting for something, for the Dog, for God, for the Lover, for Godot."
