The Jury’s Motivation
Loran Batti’s directorial debut Låt mig bara gå is a fast-paced and uncompromising school classroom performance about reconciliation and forgiveness. The performance depicts a young man’s difficult journey from time in custody back into society. Through sharp, dialogue-driven drama, we are offered a different perspective from the current prevailing view of a reality that has shaped our contemporary society. The acting is an emotional rollercoaster that grips the audience with authenticity and assured tonal precision.
A drama about forgiveness, reconciliation, and finding the way back to life for ages 13+.
This is the final conversation. When the papers are signed, twenty-year-old Kawa regains control over his life. He has been under the scrutiny of the criminal justice system ever since, as a teenager, he was responsible for another boy’s death during a fight in a schoolyard.
Kawa’s path has been winding, and his salvation during these turbulent years has been the recurring conversations with a psychologist, who has guided him toward a more stable existence.
Now he is finally about to be free. But before the psychologist signs the papers, she demands that Kawa make one last call — to his mother, the person he would rather die than face again.
Loran Batti made his debut as a playwrighter in 2023 with Sehol at Gottsunda Theatre. He has previously held a residency at Riksteatern and won the poetry competition Ortens bästa penna. Låt mig bara gå marks his directorial debut.
