"Territorium Nepal" by Janne Hoem and Øystein Elle
- Supported by: Kulturråde Norway
“Territorium ” is composed as an intermedial work, at the intersection between concert, installation, film and movement performance. The performance space defined by fragments of objects, pine needles, soil and feathers, organized in circular formations. As a volatile mandala of tracks, collections of items, relics, materials – as a plotted territory. Centrally located in the room is a sculptural stringed instrument of steel and wood that surrounds the performer and can be seen as his extended mouthpiece and inner territory.
The performance carries the memories of inner expression of fear vs freedom and cultural challenges.
