‘føremørk’ is a piece by Emilie Marie Karlsen and I, and our second work together as a dance duo.
In ‘føremørk’, two bodies move in a landscape shaped by years of correspondence. Through a long exchange of online letters, we have shared the everyday, the intimate, the private and the details in what surrounds them. We lead each other into dim terrains, where the body is pulled in and dragged out again. Side by side we move forward, pick up what appears along the way and put it into our pockets.
Drawing on animated worlds, the clumsy and hopeful act of being human, the layers of social codes, and a hundred pages of letters, they have created a dance universe that gives weight to both the drama and the dryness that shapes daily life.
What lives inside the tiny details of a day? What is allowed to unfold inside you while buying groceries at Rema 1000?
