UNDER
(2025) TBA
In Swedish UNDER can be read as the opposite of above.
A position beneath, Under water, sub_conscious, also meaning: meanwhile, as time is passing by.
It can also be understood as a wonder, something magical, divine, supernatural.
UNDER is constructed through a collage of scenes characterized by a fractured and surrealistic dramaturgy. Inspired by the intimate acts of oral transmission and reading aloud, it serves as a ritualistic exploration of closeness and fleeting relationships.
The choreography unfolds at a slow and deliberate pace reflecting a state of staying with the now. The setting of the piece is a fluid underworld, existing at the intersection of water and air, forming a vast cosmos where time appears to have collapsed.
To be shown @ Stockholm Fringe Festival the 27th of August 2024 & the artistic process written about and published in Bastard Blog.
