Signe Becker/Ingvild Langgård: NEW SKIN (WP)
Black Box teater
13 September, 7 pm
Tickets 250 – 100 NOK
Performance on the borderline between concert and installation
A requiem for the future. A ceremonial presentation of a disembodied history. Skeletons, limbs, paintings, sounds and melodies emerge from the dark and form new constellations. This is NEW SKIN, a concert/installation performance by composer Ingvild Langgård and scenographer Signe Becker premiered at Ultima 2017.
Two living bodies and a dozen corpses will lead the audience back to the future, while symbols familiar from pop culture, mythology, metal, and chakra healing will be channelled out of the darkness and into the spotlights.
Scenographer/artist Signe Becker and composer/musician/artist Ingvild Langgård have previously collaborated on a variety of productions. Their jont projects have toured internationally in Europe and North America.
There’s something rotten in the state of Man.
We have stared so long at screens. We have gaped in dread at the news. We have smelled the stink of apathy. Let’s take a step back, recollect our mojo, and propose a new path into the future.
