World Première: October 17, Oslo Opera House during CODA!
There are always obscure spaces to be found where the city meets the forest. People often meet in such spaces during the period of transition between day and night. Over the shoulder one can perhaps glimpse the lights from the houses behind, facing the dark forest. The forest is the fertile site for disappearance and resurrection, for ritual and decay. At this threshold, at the edge of the forest, between the familiar and the unknown, transactions between human beings are often carried out: here sexuality is at stake, but also identity − in the transition between regulation and the unknown. Here social codes encounter bestiality.
Ingun Bjørnsgaard often stages her fumbling, brutish and beautiful characters in the moment of their transversing these boundaries between being restrained and the spectacular. Here they get lost in such a place, taken prisoner by their own shadows.
IBP will debüt in Asia with SJØEN (Sea) this summer.
The 8th Guangdong Modern Dance Festival will present IBP in collaboration with Ibsen International. SJØEN will be the opening performance of the Norway-in-Focus-Series. The Asian Première will be held on 26 July at the Friendship Theatre, Guangzhou, China.
Choreographer Ingun Bjørnsgaard has loosely based her work SJØEN on Henrik Ibsen’s world famous 'The Lady from the Sea' (1888). Find out more about the production on our website by clicking the link.
Please note also the opportunity to see SJØEN live on May 26 in Stavanger, Norway.
