den blå tråden (the blue thread)
den blå tråden (the blue thread) (2019)
participatory performance and sound piece
30 minutes
Blue has pierced through borders, climbed bodies of trees, and jumped from one branch to another. den blå tråden is a participatory performance and a sound piece. An audioguide navigates the participants through layers of linguistic history and associative meaning, evoked by a site called Gränseskogen (The Border Forest), while hiking through an actual forest. Diversions of words such as blue, green, respite, forest, border and sorrow unfold. Simultaneously, the participants are asked to physically experience the forest as an artistic material, through which a tactile choreography unfurls.
den blå tråden was made in collaboration with a group of pupils from Storå skola in Bergslagen, Sweden. The work was made possible by the support of Konstfrämjandet Bergslagen, Lindesbergs kommun, Region Örebro Län, Kulturrådet, Storå skola, Stripa Grufpensionat, and Stripabryggeriet. It has been performed in Gränseskogen, The Border Forest, in Lindesberg Kommun, Sweden, on May 18th 2019.
