Amanda Tunsberg is Madame Moll. Who is that?
Madame Moll is the embodiment of the strong female lead. With brisk steps and a determined gaze, Madame Moll appears to hover a centimetre above the cobblestones, all the way through the little town. A passer-by can just about catch a hint of Gucci.
Time slows when Madame Moll meets a gaze with her ambiguous Mona Lisa expression. Love or a very wide berth? No one quite knows which feels right.
Madame Moll is all the women who would never have taken the leading role, but really should have.
A character-driven comedy about mothers and daughters, generational fear and playing a role.
“Welcome to Siren and Christian's wedding. On 16 October, Stavangeren will host the celebrations, with great anticipation for the occasion!
As this is Siren's third wedding, the celebration will be a modest affair this time, lasting approximately one hour.
Dress code: Smart and comfortable. Preferably no grey – it makes Christian's eyes itch.
RSVP: By 16 October.
Arrival: 9.00 pm.
Remember: Every joy when the father weighs, every ability that is possessed, the greater the matter, the greater the roof, and the greater the victory.
Hugs, Siren and Christian!”
