ALL KNOWING, FLUORESCENT AND BITING

IN THIS ZOMBIE-INSPIRED PIECE THE DANCERS INTERACT WITH THE RHYTHM OF LIGHT. 

WHAT WE CALL CIVILIZATION IS A VERY THIN LAYER - IT IS FAR AWAY FROM NATURAL, IT IS AQUIRED AND IT IS OPPOSED BY SOMETHING ELEMENTARY, UNCONTROLLABLE AND INSTINCTIVE. SOMETHING THAT EASILY BREAKS OUT OF OURSELVES, IF WE HAVE TO DEFEND OURSELVES, IF OUR CIVILIZED LIVES ARE ENDANGERED, EVEN JUST BY A SHORTAGE OF RESSOURCES. 

CREATED FOR NORTHERN (DE)LIGHTS, A SERIES OF MINIATURE WORKS CREATED FOR GÖTEBORGSOPERANS DANSKOMPANI. TOGETHER, THE FIVE DIVERSE PIECES INCLUDE EVERYTHING FROM LIVE MUSIC AND VISUAL ART TO ZOMBIES. THE AREA MAY BE SMALL AND EACH WORK SHORT BUT THEIR INTENSITY IS SOLID, CHALLENGING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING.
