Two months into the new year and I failed my resolution a bit. I blame it on February being so short and me forgetting that I was going to Vienna for the premiere weekend of the show I wanted to go to. But I got to see it just a few days passed the changing of months.
The show was a collection of dance pieces called "Northern (de)lights" at the opera house here in Gothenburg. It started already outside the stage, where the audience get their noses measured and they get separated in different groups (I got blue for being bizarre). The show is a mix between theatre and dance where different characters tell about their rather special life stories. During the show one of the dancer/actresses walks around and whispers stories to different members in the audience. I never got to hear any.
After a short break we get to see two other pieces. One very entertaining about these mafia members and what goes on behind their closed doors.
Last out was a beautiful duet with two dancers. It felt primal and as if they where exploring their own bodies as they realised that they could move different part. They did seamlessly entangle their bodies and it was a very beautiful interaction to watch.
This blog post is looooong overdue. But you know, better late then never.
