• The corpus of crumbs will rule the world – slow down and crawl

    The corpus of crumbs will rule the world – slow down and crawl

    Anne Pajunens new hybrid work is a sounding, spatial, visual and sensory installation.

    A lament for the importance of the minute. It is in the minuscule, the minute, that we find our hope. Our calls for solutions are mostly meek. We must slow down to sound the alarm, to pay attention to detail. Crumbs will rule the world by slowness – not by rage. We must lower ourselves below the corpus of crumbs to gain worthiness and respect. It is a laboratory for corpus un/mattering. Or an opera in/for the shadows? A theory of white holes as our only hope.

  • Månstruken Moonstruck

    Månstruken Moonstruck

    Work-in-progress! A new chamber opera is on its way. We welcome you to an open rehearsal and conversations around the process of the work so far. What is going on with our Moon? The one that seduced Pierrot, the one we have projected our dreams, yearnings and passions onto. What has gone down since the magic was lost that fatal day back in 1969? A slippage for mankind?

    Music: Magnus Bunnskog
    Libretto: Anne Pajunen
