A play about medieval female mystics is being staged at Moment:teater in Gubbängen, Sweden. The production reportedly features Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich, medieval women who achieved a form of power and freedom through self-sacrifice, with Jesus as a perfect love object. According to reports, the play connects these figures to the year 1373, when Saint Birgitta died, Margery Kempe's life began, and Mother Julian of Norwich received her first 16 revelations.
The theater, described as an open study association, is known for creating theatrical essays that explore contemporary issues by looking to the past, such as previous works on Doggerland, Atlantis, and figures like Rudbeck and Stefan Zweig. The play is said to blend religious passion with elements of folk education and ultimately tell a story about courage.
