Som en del af \u00c5rhus Festuges byvandring Hidden Treasures Map<\/strong> skabte Secret Hotel en 15 minutters forestilling i en hotel suite p\u00e5 en af byens \u00e6ldste hoteller, Hotel Royal. Den engelske instrukt\u00f8r og performer Melanie Thompson var inviteret til, sammen med Secret Hotel, at skabe en stedsspecifik forestilling med udgangspunkt i tematikkerne ‘rejse’ og ‘afsked’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instrukt\u00f8r og performer: <\/strong>Melanie Thompson Tematikken voksede ud af Melanie’s eget forhold til byen \u00c5rhus: Efter i st\u00f8rstedelen af 1980’erne at have boet fast i \u00c5rhus vendte Melanie med meget blandede f\u00f8lelser tilbage til byen efter 15 \u00e5rs adskillelse. Denne tilbagevenden blev udgangspunktet for den endelige forestilling Tourist of the Heart, som blev en solo etude over det at v\u00e6re rejsende i ens egne minder, om forhold til steder, om forgange k\u00e6rlighedsaff\u00e6rer til mennesker og byer, l\u00e6ngsel efter fortid og hvorledes geografiske steder er med til at skabe vor personlige identitet. Forestillingen blev skabt udfra et site specific princip, hvor stedet ikke er en kulisse, men en tematik i sig selv. Melanie boede og arbejdede i godt 6 dage i hotelsuiten, hvor den endelige forestillingen blev vist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forestillingsnoter: <\/strong>\u00b7 et stort hotelv\u00e6relse (denne gang er jeg g\u00e6st) \u00b7 video med lav lyd \u00b7 en kvinde gennembl\u00f8dt til skindet \u00b7 kort over byen OVERALT \u00b7 forvirring mellem en aff\u00e6re og byen selv \u00b7 dans i et beboet rum \u00b7 publikum som rejsende\/turister \u00b7 lysbilleder af steder hvor jeg har boet \u00b7 ET MIDLERTIDIGT HJEM – at rejse[:en]<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos: Peter Sloth Madsen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Secret Hotel was commissioned by The Aarhus Festival to devise a 15 minute site specific performance as part of the Festival’s promenade event Hidden Treasures Map<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The site was a room in one of the city’s oldest and most renowned hotels, Hotel Royal. The performance was devised in collaboration with English artist and director Melanie Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Director & performer:<\/strong> Melanie Thompson <\/strong> Based on Melanie’s own past and relationship with Aarhus, the work on the performance revolved around themes like ‘travelling and goodbyes’. For the most part of the 1980s Melanie lived and worked in Aarhus and in making this performance she returned for the first time in 15 years only to find that her feelings about revisiting the city were indeed mixed and complex. The final performance thus became a solo piece about travelling through memories, love affairs with people and places and about how geographic places shape our personal identity. The performance was devised site specifically where the hotel room became a theme in its own right. Melanie lived and worked in the hotel suite for more than 6 days prior to the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Performance notes:<\/strong> \u00b7 a big hotel room (this time I’m a guest) \u00b7 video with sound turned down \u00b7 a woman soaked \u00b7 maps of the city – everywhere \u00b7 confusion between affair and the city itself \u00b7 dance in domestic environment \u00b7 the audience as travellers\/tourists \u00b7 slides of places where I’ve lived \u00b7 a temporary home – travelling[:]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [:da] Fotos: Peter Sloth Madsen Som en del af \u00c5rhus Festuges byvandring Hidden Treasures Map skabte Secret Hotel en 15 minutters forestilling i en hotel suite p\u00e5 en af byens \u00e6ldste hoteller, Hotel Royal.
