UNDER
(2025) TBA
In Swedish UNDER can be read as the opposite of above. A position beneath, (underwater underground, sub_consciousness, Also meanwhile, as time is passing by.I t 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. The choreography unfolds at a slow and deliberate pace reflecting a state of staying with --a non-action. 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.
