Tro og overbevisning

- a performance with dance and text, hundreds of almonds, many questions, small and large thoughts. How far? How much? For what? For whom? How far am I willing to go for what I think is important? I have a secret weapon - I can put on my conviction...To believe. To be convinced. Having something to hold on to, something that makes sense in a constantly changing world, is fundamental to human beings. The very feeling of believing in something - being convinced of something - is universal. What we hold on to and what gives us meaning, why and how, is individual.Belief and conviction is a concept based on how much space a single thought or idea can take up in the human mind - in the human body. It's about the universal need to believe in something or someone, and how we're constantly trying to figure out what makes sense to us.It's also about how an idea can completely take over.

The performance begins with a personal story about a car accident. Many questions arise: What is really important to me? What is it that gives me meaning? What do I spend my time on? On the floor there are hundreds of almonds. The almonds first form a map of the accident, before they become all the thoughts and questions in my head that I can't figure out... The performance does not address specific beliefs or belief systems, but raises specific issues in relation to faith and conviction and also highlights different aspects of believing and being convinced.

Before the performance, the audience is engaged in a simple activity directly related to the theme and stage text of the performance. A conversation is invited directly after the performance.
