Margit is in the museum looking back at things when the past attacks.
- Ouch, she cries. - I told you, the museum guard says.
With the female body as an excavation field, Susie Wang makes a kind of opposite archeology, where the past finds the human being and drags her down.
MUMMY BROWN won The Norwegian Theatre Critics Award for best performance 2018/19
