Fórn

Maðurinn er ekki fullbúið sköpunarverk

„Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.“ Edmund Burke.

Fórn er glæsileg listahátíð sem kannar tengsl listsköpunar og trúar. Tekist er með nýstárlegum hætti á við ritúalið í hversdagsleika lífs og listar, en viðburðurinn skartar 5 nýjum og spennandi verkum eftir frábæra og virta listamenn úr hinum ýmsu greinum.

Fórn er viðamesta uppfærsla í sögu Íslenska dansflokksins sem leggur nú undir sig öll leiksvið Borgarleikhússins (og forsal). Hér flæða dans, myndlist, kvikmyndagerð, leiklist og tónlist saman í einn meginstraum, svo úr verður mögnuð upplifun!

Í samstarfi við Borgarleikhúsið og LÓKAL

Sacrifice

Man is not a finished creation

„Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.“ Edmund Burke.

Iceland Dance Company present SACRIFICE, a collection of new commanding creations exploring the relationship between art and religion. Inspired by the idea of the ritual as an essential part of life, SACRIFICE takes over Reykjavík City Theatre in a celebration of dance, art and music where audiences move from one space to the next, experiencing a different ritual in each place. No Tomorrow, a new creation by performance- and visual artist Ragnar Kjartansson and choreographer Margrét Bjarnadóttir. A ballet for eight dancers and eight guitars to the music by The National’s Bryce Dessner. Union of the North, created by renowned American visual artist Matthew Barney, choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir and musician Valdimar Jóhannsson is a performative video installation, attempting to fuse together consumerism and the spiritual in an act of marriage. Dies Irae by visual artist Gabriela Friðriksdóttir is part video-installation, part choreographed ritual that focuses on the transition from life to death. Made in collaboration with Ómarsdóttir and Jóhannsson, the video also serves as an inspiration for their choreography, Shrine. Finally the festivities reach an immersive peak at the already bustling Market, where people present their beliefs, ideas and solutions for a sustainable future.

In co-operation with Reykjavík City Theatre and LÓKAL Performing Arts Reykjavík.
