Thermoboy FK peer with ›Pride and Prejudice‹ through literary characters at the links between love and money, cohabitation and individual freedom – and the possibilities of theater as a form of self-staging and self-invention. In an independent adaptation, they rewrite and continue Jane Austen’s moral portrait from the 19th century. Eight men play female and male roles, thus raising questions of representation, visibility and privileges both as performers and characters.
