(2020)

A site specific solo at Minnesparken in Oslo.

A body in movement, through ruins of an old monastery.
The performance is created from a text by Lydia Davis, Hand.

“Beyond the hand holding this book that I’m reading, I see another hand lying idle and slightly out of focus - my extra hand”
- Lydia Davis, Hand

The focus is on the body that moves around in the ruins, in the body language of the dancer, the costume and the space. We’re playing with the associations of the viewer.
