Independent theatre collective De Utvalgte (The Chosen Ones) combine video, 3D film, speech, sound and music in their unconventional performances. Their ongoing site specific series, The Ship, has landed at Malérargues in France, a forest on the coast of Western Norway, a housing block in Greenland, Black Box teater in Oslo, and Terschelling in the Netherlands.
For its fifth and final instalment, The Ship will tie up on the coast next to a remote, atmospheric cliff edge on the Nesodden peninsula in the Oslo fjord, a scar excavated in the landscape where relics of mysterious, debauched celebrations wait to be discovered.
Here, De Utvalgte collective – a mix of experienced and amateur performers – will conduct the latest of their remarkable happenings responding to the natural and historical qualities of the geographic location in actions and eclectic musical approaches.
The Ship and the journey represent a quest for survival, new lands and possible futures. Working with technology, nature and cultural imprints, the production focuses on the theme of hubris.
