IBSENDEKONSTRUKTION
I: GENGÅNGARE
(Ibsen deconstruction I: Ghost)
The critically acclaimed performance Ibendekonstruktion I: Gengångare
(Ibsen deconstruction I: ghost) had it´s premiere spring 2010 at
Teatr Weimar in Sweden. The play, directed by Linda Ritzén, is
a radical adaptation, made by playwright Jörgen Dahlqvist, of the
classic ibsen play Ghost, where all characters, both male and female,
are played by two actors.
The idea behind the adaptation is to find a way back to Ibsen´s
original radicality beyond naturalism. The performance explores power,
class and gender. In the end language breaks down, so that only violence
and addiction remains; between mother and son, between master and servant,
wife and husband. And here shameful sexuality and dirty heritage is the
only driving force and underlying pain between the actors on stage.
Text adaption: Jörgen Dahlqvist
Director: Linda Ritzén
Actors: Rafael Pettersson and Nils Dernevik
Costume, set design and light: Johan Bergman and Jenny Ljungberg

Indy500:Cape of the Century. Text: Jörgen Dahlqvist. Music:
Kent Olofsson.
The car race Indy 500, which takes place at på Indianapolis Motor
Speedway in the USA since 1911, has been described as the world’s
greatest sport event. Taking Marinetti’s fourth paragraph as point
of departure, Indy500:Cape of the Century concludes that we are
already living in the future, with speed and consumption as linked matter
in what has become a religion in which the global brands are the proponents
of this global church.
The Art of War Noise. Text: Annika Nyman: Music: Martin Svensson
A linguistic examination of war following Marinetti. It is a regression
towards the futurist tribute to war and the machinery of war. It is a
movement back to the trench, to the sound and rhythm of war, to its points
of extreme of regularity and disintegration.
The performance is still avaliable for touring.

STRÄNGA ANTECKNINGARNA
(The harsh notes)
De
stränga anteckningarna (The Harsh Notes) is the working title for
a project that intends to explore the voice and will involve both actors
and singers, building also on new experimental vocal techniques.
The base of the narrative is the story of Orpheus and Eurydike. The text
strectes out the moment when Orpheus turns around and let everything,
bot past and present, take place at the same time. It has also echoes
of a war zone, where people are trying to survive after a big disaster
of some sort.
