OM
I dream of peace on earth but can settle for a new bicycle
In the meeting between movement, music, film and words, OM explores all forms of dreams. The dream of justice, a new job in Åbyhallen's café or roads that take you far, far away. A performing arts experience in which the possibilities and impossibilities of dreams are portrayed in a dynamic and cross-border expression.
‘Through the land of dreams over meadow and marsh
I wander through.
Far from feelings of guilt and shame
as the steps guide
me into the foreign zones
that wait with enticing tones’
Artistic audio description
Konstra's ensemble, together with the audio description artist Linda Dobke, has explored artistic audio description and integrated verbalisation as a tool in the artistic process - a relatively unexplored field in the Swedish performing arts and a first experiment for Konstra.
In OM, this exploration has coloured the artistic choices and anchors the storytelling in language and sound, with poems and verbalising voices as an enriching and accessible layer of the performance.
