In Lynn, Charlotta Öfverholm creates a portrait of two women – two tormented souls. „A performance for one actor and a dancing technician“ is a probe into a twisted character of a human being who has been through it all. The attempts of a lonely being to face the inexorability of life speak about human loneliness, hope consisting in meetings and wish not to be just a physical object. Charlotta Öfverholm´s solo is superior thanks to her excellent dramatic sense for the comic, self-irony and absurdity in contrast with devotion, tenderness and a never-fulfilled desire for love.

If anyone asked Charlotta Öfverholm to through herself off a steep in a performance, she would do it. She is one of those stage personalities that gives full gas from the beginning and then accelerates.
