​

I want to keep the cake but eat it (too) is a cinematically choreographed piece exposing the close affinity between to people. The work invites the spectator to the sixties monochrome world, to a
manifestation of the so often intangible human emotions, and to a futuristic place where two
women can be the main characters.

This dance piece is Clara Sjölin's interpretation of director Ingmar Bergman's film Persona (1966)
intertwined with her and the two performers' reflections on 'twosomeness', presented in
an honest and raw manner, toying with elements of insanity, distortion and fragility.
