Similar to an audio guide or a faux indoctrination machine, the audience is led through the performance by the dancers' voices via headphones suspended from the ceiling, directly connecting them to the theater's machinery. These voices comment, interpret, and associate with the space and the unfolding events, each imbued with individual nuances depending on the audience member's seating position. This fosters an intimate and personal relationship between the audience and the dancers onstage.
The movement material, developed collaboratively with the dancers, is a rich tapestry of references, straddling the boundaries between practicality, mimicry, and poetic expression. Through textual, auditory, and bodily elements, the project aims to highlight the duality of being singular plural, exploring the intricate interplay between information, projection, and manipulation.
Eivind Seljeseth is involved in different collaborations in the Norwegian art field. We're excited to introduce Eivind for the first time to the Dutch audience with ALL OVER / ALT NÅ.
