Sirene

Tekst om Sirene:
Sirene explores the concept of nostos, or “homecoming journey” from a contemporary and political perspective. Whats is home?
The audience goes on a journey through the city, departing from one location and ending at another. Inspired by The Odyssey they meet various physical locations that represent translations of the challenges Odysseus faced on his journey.These external obstacles symbolize the inner stages of transformation, as individuals seek to find their way home and discover themselves. At each location, the audience participate in rituals and actions advancing through transformative experiences that makes the performance an opportunity for introspection and change.
The audience travel in groups of 15 people guided by performer and artistic director Sara Vilardo.The walk lasts 75 minutes. They wear headphones, immersing themselves into site-specific poetry and soundscape that merge with the real sounds of the places they visit.

CALYPSO  / CRUISING PLACE

As you bend your back
and slide into a green mouth
sunlight creates
shadow theatres
on the leaves

your eyes are drawn
towards human nests
hidden in dome shaped darkness
between the trees

you cannot avoid stepping
on shiny ripped desires
glittering
like pearls
under your feet

leaving this garden
of meat eating flowers
your own secret longings
take off
like birds
over an unknown church

Twisted Forest

Iført en beskyttende dragt føres du igennem krat, over træstubbe, ned ad skrænter, helt tæt på bark og græs. TWISTED FOREST ligger udenfor stierne og manifesterer sig i usynlige zoner spredt ud i landskabet. Du er først klar over, at du er i en zone, når du træder ind i den.

I nogle zoner møder du performere, der udfordrer din umiddelbare opfattelse af stedet og åbner mørklagte facetter af dine sanser – godt hjulpet af skovens geniale anatomi.

Andre gange finder din gruppe selv sin retning og inviteres ind i oplevelser via det interaktive soundscape.

(Teksteksempel Gotland version af Twisted Forest, hvor publikum står på en klippe. Titel: Mineral Body)

If you were a stone
you would be so much more wise

one by one
you could move the minerals inside you
refining and rebuilding
your own dense space

all movements
so well thought through

you would be lying for millions of years
on the sea bed

letting your body soften
by gentle underwater streams

you could use a millenium
absorbing a luminous tongue of chalk

grow crystals and shadows of small animals

you would sense the changing eras, ice ages
as a fast moving pulse

at some point
the sea would sink
forest would rise on your sides
trees would drop their pines and leaves on you

in your stable structures
thoughts of eternal wisdom
would appear
and fade away again

pleasure would be raindrops
playfully painting your surface
a crack, an earthquake, a forest fire
would cheer you up

If you were a stone
you feel the people standing here
as subtle watery weights on top of you

…

(pause) 

so now reach down
touch one piece of rock
rub it with your fingers
Imagine the thoughts
burried inside

…

when you are ready 

              leave this place

JORDVANDRING

I denne performance-vandring af Tina Andersen føres publikum rundt i en by med høretelefoner. Man er aktiv og deltagende og forestillingen er henvendt til unge. Den starter og slutter med at man møder en gruppe en ældre mennesker, der ‘overgiver’ jorden til den nye generation før de selv snart skal drage videre. Igennem hele vandringen igennem byen hører publikum jordens stemmer, både selve jorden, men også dens elementer – som f.eks. åen, træerne, alger, svampe, sten, græs. Læs mere om forestillingen her.
Teksterne er indtalt af skuespiller Bodil Lassen og lyden komponeret af Luka Simone Ravn. De optagede poetiske/informative tekster i jeg-form har jeg skrevet. Her er et lille udpluk uden at der dog skal afsløres for meget.
