Freja Refning Hansen is a Danish writer and director with a passion for social justice and environmental issues. With her art she aims to inspire others to take action, start a conversation and find their own inner voice and superpower whatever that is.
The Rhyme is about how a silent witness can become a silent accomplish. The person so caught up in their own problems, fear of social taboo and stigma that when they see something wrong they say nothing and look the other way - even blame the victim.
In The Rhyme older sister Idun witnesses her younger sister Sif being abused by their father and must finally learn how to react - still if she could choose she'd forget it ever happened. Sif fights back against her father, director, abuser, the patriarchy, while older sister Idun slowly realises how and why. Sif frees herself and as she does, she finally feels both heard and seen by the most important person - herself. Her choreography is flawless and she celebrates her free soul inviting Idun to join her instead of accepting the status quo.
As the higher powers are summoned to the theatre's dark closed doors questioning whether maybe Sif "asked for it", Idun must take a stance and become an ally against the abuser, against the problematic system that sometimes still is our 21st century world - and help to change it for the better.
