Before, my stomach was full of regular stomach upsets like breakfast and cinnamon rolls. Then I had a mom. Then my mother became ill and tiny. And then a huge monster egg appeared inside the stomach here!
When the Girl's mother dies, the Girl discovers that a monster has moved into her womb. The monster refuses to move out and makes her do all sorts of stupid things. Not the least, the monster makes monster juice that drips out of her eyes when she gets bored and destroys everything. The girl has invited the audience in for an overnight visit, because now the hour of showdown has come: The monster must go out!
"Monster i magen" is a warm, fun and a little weird monologue performance for children about grief management.

"Monster i magen" is written and directed by Lina Killingdalen. It premiered on January 29, 2020. In 2021, the performance was nominated for the Golden Bag awards by Kulturtanken.
