"Through music and dance, frustration is expressed as a process of liberation that makes you think and feel differently."
- Thea Egestrand, Kulturmagasinet Vink

The work "In Between Spaces" is built up through improvisation and inspired by the Japanese dance art form Butoh, which is a common term for a wide range of techniques that often involve playful and frontier-seeking imagery, taboo subjects and slow hyper-controlled movements.

 

The form of the work is created on the basis of a basic idea of four spaces, where the word "space" is to be understood as an abstract "space" without walls or doors. In each of these rooms there is a basic atmosphere, which is determined and thoroughly prepared in advance. From this basic mood, the improvisations grow.

​

The work thus consists of four scenes, the content of which is chosen based on the artists' own experiences of a life in a distinctly performing society. Experiences such as musicians, young people, people, women, and artists are fundamental elements of the improvisations.

​

The four scenes each deal in their own way with a feeling of being lost between decisions, of struggling to surrender to the present and the process, as well as a constant search for oneself and a place where one can finally let go completely.

Four emotional snapshots marked with four headlines:
1) In Between 
2) Overflow 
3) Safeplace 
4) Exposure 
​
The audience is invited to dive into four rooms, four emotional snapshots, one by one, experience the atmosphere and get carried away, as if to go into a hurlumhejhus where each room in its own way is a mirror hall of ourselves and that society we are part of.
