supernova 2021

In SUPERNOVA we meet Fredrikke. When her dad got sick, he starts telling her about outer space. He takes her out at night and shows her the starry sky, he teaches her about constellations, about the universe and eternity, about weightlessness and space travel, about stars being born and stars dying. SUPERNOVA is a story for children about losing someone, and about finding meaning when everything changes. About how we are all part of something bigger than ourselves - and in that way are never completely alone. The performance is played in the Planetarium at the Science Center in Trondheim. The unique room has a hemispherical canvas that covers the entire field of vision, and is one of Trondheim's most exciting rooms. With video, music, sound and text in this very special room, this is a spectacular experience. The SUPERNOVA project is a collaboration between RAA productions and the Science Center in Trondheim.

" An unusually beautiful and sensuous theater presentation about one of the most taboo things that exists."

Stages and Storeys - This version is re-edited for the launch of Bokhylla.no, National Library Oslo, 11th of October 2012. Video and sound installation 2006. The last years I have been involved in projects related to music and danceperformances. Stages and Storeys is a work evolving from these experiences. The installation consist of two videoprojections, a red floor, a thousand books and three different layers of sound. In my work I am interested in language, movement and perception and in this particular work I wanted to work with a complexity of different layers interweaved and also in some way stage the viewer into my work. This was inspired from my stagework and also Italo Calvino´s book "If on a Winter´s Night a Traveler" and how this book makes the viewer involved/responsible in reading of the story. Three different soundtracks played simultaniously, each loop with a different timespan. The videoprojections also had different timespans and the quality of expression was different although the basic material was collected from the same videoshoot. Credits: Video - Tone Myskja, Sound - Jon Balke, Dancer - Halldis Olafsdottir, Photographer - Hilde Malme, Tone Myskja, Light Design - Knut Haraldsen, Special Effects - Pål Morten Hverven, Assistants - Gabriella Göransson and Brita Skybak
