SPELL

Hot on the heels of their 10th anniversary performance in January,AlwynnePritchard and ThorolfThuestad(NeitherNor), in collaboration with Berlin-based choreographer Julia Maria Koch, present their new stage production, "SPELL".

Through movement, sound,scenographyand text, "SPELL" explores the role the body plays in confronting the unknown. What do we doin order toclassify things, to make them tangible—to translate them from a world of abstract ideas into a material one?

In ritual acts we seek access to the subconscious through physical practices such as singing, dancing,speakingand breathing. Culturally, there are many differences in how we create, tell, and retell our histories, but storytelling itself is universal.

We describe our institutions to understand them and give them a body. Because only what has a body, what can be described, can have astoryand exist.
