Sky regimes and other gadgets - Utvik/Barfod

What do you call things that don't have a name? Such things that have no name? HIMSTREGIMSER OG ANDRE DUPPEDITTER is an interactive and multi-sensory dance performance and installation that invites children into an abstract world of shapes, textures, sound and movement. The space is filled with imaginative and strange textile objects, each with their myriad functions, playing on a variety of senses. Where have we got to? It doesn't really matter. Because there is nothing here that needs to be understood or interpreted or stories that need to be followed. On the contrary, it's all about letting play, the senses and imagination guide us in this strange world that operates according to its own rules. There are trees made of hats and giant strings of pearls, and we meet two strange creatures who live here. Through their and the children's interaction with the objects, the space and bodies are in constant transformation. Things open and turn, change color, become frayed, make strange sounds and attach to the body in various strange ways. The children are involved in the exploration, and are allowed to examine, touch and feel, test and try, in a playful and unfettered world that opens up more questions than answers.
