Himstregimser og andre duppeditter
UTVIK/BARFOD
What do you actually call things like that that don't have a name? Those little things?
Himstregimser og andre duppeditter is an interactive dance performance and installation that invites children into an abstract world of shapes, textures, sound and movement. The room is filled with imaginative and strange textile objects that all have their own countless functions, and that play on a variety of senses. Where have we come?
It doesn't really matter. Because here there is nothing that needs to be understood or interpreted or stories that need to be followed. On the contrary, it is about letting play, the senses and imagination guide us, in this strange world that operates according to its own rules.
Here are trees made of hats and giant pearl necklaces, and we meet two strange creatures who live here. Through their and the children's interaction with the objects, the space and bodies are constantly transforming. Things open and turn, change color, become frayed, make strange noises and attach to the body in various strange ways.
The children participate in the exploration, and get to investigate, touch and feel, test and try, in a playful and open-ended world that opens up more questions than answers.
