City Fragments

The performance

City Fragments
The performance is the result of the project Site Specific Nordic Projects where choreographer, dancer and photographer developed and presented performances at selected locations in Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen and Helsinki.

The project is inspired by the Nordic urban landscape. A landscape that shapes personalities, the streets that change character from day to night, from a moment in busy meeting street to the next surrounded by its silence. One key element is the people in this landscape, their perception and memory, the distance and the closeness to their own experience in life.

The dance takes place in a room with 9 individual peformers and collected images from the city. Simple parts as a car, window, a wall are fixed points for movement between reality and dream. The original soundtrack is a contribution to the movement between different moods and rooms and have a slightly cinematic approach. The light defines the urban space and refers to a more abstract notion of the nordic cities. We explored split focus – parallell focus – pulse – light – life.
