Work-in-Progress Showing: ‘Drama’ by A Ourø / A Kasakove

Welcome to a work-in-progress showing of the work ‘Drama’. We will perform a 20 minute glimpse of the piece after which we welcome you to a casual reflection discussion and some good snacks. 

Work-in-progress program text:

‘Drama’ is the last part of a trilogy of works on loss that began in 2018. These works attend to the unknown, the unknowable, the looming, and the never fully graspable. The performance ‘Drama’ takes place in a tragicomic sphere, where comedy and grief accompany each other. The piece uses humor as a way to address hopelessness. The research looks into different artistic forms of drama without imposing a clear narrative or a definitive plot. ‘Drama’ navigates between concrete references and fragile and abstract forms. As we now near the end of this trilogy, we reflect how this work can take part in addressing grief at this current time. The work does not look for a resolution, yet it creates a stage, invites an audience and proposes a dance with humor, uncertainty and a sense of communal solitude.

The costumes have been developed in close collaboration with costume designer Lærke Valum
