The baby

We got a mail from a woman who had been present at the dress rehearsal yesterday. She was very upset because we had used a baby in the performance. She wrote that the baby would surly be traumatised for life and she even compared it to incest. I was pretty shocked at her accusation. We have taken all precautions to insure that the baby will not be harmed in any way. We’ve been in contact with an expert from the Centre of Crises and Disaster Psychology at “Rigshospitalet” who asserted us that being on stage would not cause the baby any damage at all. The baby will be away from its mother for about one minute all in all and will be in the arms of a woman who’s also a mother. The mail shocked me. We have to trust the experts (- and also the parents) judgment and we all agree that no harm will be done. I’m a bit worried if a lot of people will react with this kind of intensity. Personal I look at the scene with the baby as a tribute to life.

Luckily I have also received a lot of positive and enthusiastic mails, which made me so happy. I don’t think people really know just how important it is for me to receive all this positive reactions. It makes me extremely happy!
