the dress becomes a world
And that's what the costumes are,
a mask that creates
a parallel universe,
a magical
supernatural world,
They are action objects
more than a restriction.
They create a different state of mind, and a different way of sensing the world, perhaps a forgotten way of sensing our world.
They remind us of how we have lost touch with nature, perhaps even ourselves, and how we tend to live only in the ̈real ̈ or realistic world. They remind us of how the magic that these masked dresses create and their world, are lacking in our modern society.
2020 - 2022
productions
In 2014 we began filming "Manhunt"
at Barony Rosendal in kvinnherad,
Norway.
It has since been screened around the world.
2018: Aster's solo.
¨And as she steeps out of the crown we see a woman.
Aster is her name.¨
Aster was created inspiret by the paradox of strength in sensitivity and vulnerability. The suble power of feminity and how all three has been and is being suppressed in modern day society and how much strength it is required for it to break free.
