Representatives of the organization Stop Asian Hate Sweden speak up P4 Stockholm that there are plenty of actors of Asian origin who could have shouldered the roles. The decision to allow only white actors to take a seat on stage leads to a crowding out of racialized actors, according to the organization.
In an email to Sveriges Radio, Dramaten writes that the focus of the play is on the universal and existential and that the author’s visual world is located in an unnamed universe and that none of the actors should portray people of South Korean origin.
