As a guest at this performance one melst into a universe, where a subtle story about humans existence unfolds and time moves in various directions. Are we alone in this world? How far apart are the deceased and those still alive?
The viewers are placed in a triangle around the performer, and among old preserving jars, stuffed birds, crayon drawings and polaroids the room fills up with stories about those no longer among us. Big questions hover in a setting of thoughtfulness, laugther and imagination.
For both adults & youths PLUS a version for the 8-12 year old. Duration: 70 minutes
Fall Fall She Fell is a peculiar and inviting performance at the same time. A perfect introduction to what performance theatre can be when both humorous, consequent and wants to say something.
- “An extremely comfortable space to be in. We look at each other with a smile on our faces. It is the best I have ever seen where audience participation really works.” Kasper Daugaard Poulsen, choreographer
- “Thanks for a supercool experience. The start gave me a lot of questions, but later I got answers for them. It’s really something I can bring along with me. SUPER COOL!” Maria Borregaard, Morsoe High School
Fall Fall She Fell explores our memories of the deceased. The performance conveys atmospheres and fragments of several human destinies, but does not tell one single story. Like a caretaker for the deceased, performer Brian Degn vitalizes and evokes parts of various lives. As the performance proceeds the fragments seem to come together in a greater context. These fragmented stories along with the sound design talk to the senses of the audience. Each person elaborates on the stories through associations and reactions and thus become co-narrator of the destinies that are encountered. The performance obviously points to its own structure and the theatrical magic is established and taken apart right before the eyes of the audience.
Fall Fall She Fell has been showed several places in Denmark, at festivals and high schools, as well on Atalante in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Body Navigation Festival in St.Petersborg, and on Tokalynga Theatre Academy in Sweden.
