| Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Colleagues,
Please note two great possibilities to see Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt, Norway´s exceptional dance company, live. SJØEN (Sea) will be shown in Mousonturm Frankfurt, Germany and VERKLÄRTE NACHT (Transfigured Night) with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra in Oslo´s new opera in Norway.
SJØEN inspired by Henrik Ibsen´s `The Lady from the Sea´ - piece for 5 dancers.
"Bjørnsgaard demonstrates how Ibsen should be renewed and interpreted today!" (Dagsavisen)
Ellida Wangel is longing for the oceanic vastness and candour. She is the „Lady from the Sea" and builds the foil for Ingun Bjørnsgaards latest work. Loosely based on Ibsen’s world famous drama, SJØEN revolves around the theme of the first `modern´ women.
Bjørnsgaard, who is considered Norways most sucessful international choregrapher, is a virtuoso naratress of bizarre stories and loves relished, ironic comments on ballet. In SJØEN the subjective yearning for freedom is implemented in a current context: a time in which the self is perceived as a stream of many possible identities.
What type of freedom is possible in a world where ambivalence reigns and self-contempt resides next door to selfaggrandization? A powerful piece in chamber-play format, full of playful irony and fine transitions from comedy to tragedy.
