Alt strekker seg mot solen
en forestilling om vekst
a performance inspired by, and composed specifically for the botanic garden in Oslo. Dance, computer projected drawing, music and film are interwoven in a structured, yet spontanious multimedia performance.
Relating to the incredible process of groath, reaching for the sun; slow meets fast, the dead comes to life…and blossoms.
Everything is reaching for the sun!

Inside glass – cleaving revenge towards an equal plane
A crossover performance inviting us to recreate our memorial conceptions in an absorbing blend of theater, dance, installation art and music. A journey to the inside of a world in-between worlds. At the intersection of dream and reality the memory is put to test, and the necessity to speak surface. A transformation – a change of skin – from rejuvenation to realization, of a woman’s fight for expression in itself.

Dalilah’s dream
Short solo performance
A monologue written by Branco. The text is based on the process of losing, states and actions of someone when deprived of someone else. Dalilah´s man is gone and from the desert of herself she speaks out.
I was patient enough to be on the bottom of the sea, even if the waves would come too close. so close to wet my feet. I decided to stay because I could not grasp what is to be close. how close is close enough?
