The Sunset Suite


  • Hotel Eggers 2-4 Drottningtorget Västra Götalands län, 411 03 Sweden (map)

You are summoned as an unknown heir to a distribution of an estate. The white man has passed on, and it’s time to divide his assets and privileges among his heirs.

Whom of you will from now on speak without being interrupted. Whom of you will have their musical taste elevated to classical canon. And which of you really wants the key to the minibar?

The Sunset Suite is a participatory performance on claims and guilt. In the company of John Rawls theory of justice, Tennesse Williams plays, Johnny Cash's last album, we examine our own position in the power structure. It might be easy, it might be excruciating. No matter what, funeral coffee will be served.

The Sunset Suite is the second part in Poste Restantes diptych on historical debt. The first part was SKULD by Majula Drammeh. The Sunset Suite is produced in cooperation with SKOGEN and with the support of Kulturrådet.
