A Girl's Room

Karmageitin and Gentukamarið explore female identity through interconnected poems and a play with non-linear narratives.

Karmageitin (Karma Goat) and Gentukamarið (“A Girl’s Room") are a literary pair, each having its own expression and character. They are written in two different genres, poems (Karma Goat) and a play (A Girl's Room). The works can be read in any order, and are not linearly or causally connected, but rather as two nested works, where the dialogues of the drama, the movements of the poems, the states of mind and the physical spaces, grow into each other. As the title A Girl's Room indicates, it is about a female protagonist. The same is the case in Karma Goat.

A Girl's Room dissolves the boundaries and thresholds that exist between the stages of the self: in development, in conflict, in confusion – paradoxical, contradictory and at times harmonious – all at the same time. A girl's room and the acclimated girl become a strong force in these works, a being that learns to refuse to be reprimanded and put in place.
