Ra­gna­rok in Nor­se my­tho­lo­gy me­ans „the twi­li­ght of the gods”, or sim­ply the end of the old world and the be­gin­ning of a new one. Ho­we­ver, the ti­tle of our per­for­man­ce is the only di­rect re­fe­ren­ce that con­nects it with the my­tho­lo­gy. We felt that it mi­ght give ano­ther lay­er of in­ter­pre­ta­tion for the au­dien­ce, but at the same time we li­ked the fact that this term is so blunt with its me­aning.

The show is abo­ut a new world. And here we wan­ted to dive into the pro­ble­ma­tics of hu­ma­ni­ty. Re­la­tions be­twe­en pe­ople, con­nec­tion with one­self, and re­pre­sen­ta­tion of a so­cie­ty, but wi­tho­ut cer­ta­in ro­les or hie­rar­chy.

 

We are wor­king with the con­cept of li­mi­na­li­ty, which is fo­cu­sed on the „in-be­twe­en” pla­ce, that oc­curs in the cen­tral pha­se of the rite of pas­sa­ge. The pla­ce, whe­re the par­ti­ci­pants are no lon­ger the­ir old se­lves, but are not yet any­thing new. It is the am­bi­gu­ous pla­ce of pas­sing by. And we wan­ted the who­le per­for­man­ce to be that pla­ce. A kind of di­stor­ted si­tu­ation, a bit out of or­der or with some kind of ten­sion and un­com­for­ta­ble fe­eling.

 

Thro­ugh the who­le per­for­man­ce each ac­tress and ac­tor has hers and his own sto­ry and path, and thro­ugh some cros­sings the re­la­tions are hap­pe­ning. We were try­ing to un­der­li­ne this lo­ne­li­ness, even if the­re are some con­nec­tions hap­pe­ning. It is more abo­ut fin­ding this spe­ci­fic per­for­ma­ti­ve sta­te of ca­re­ful­ly li­ste­ning to my­self - and thro­ugh this ten­der and vi­gi­lant li­ste­ning - to tru­ly he­aring the others.
