Spacing Out

A site-specific performance by the newly created Lynghøj-lakes in Roskilde.

Spacing Out creates a space for contemplation. A lingering for an extended time. Gives the audience space to feel the many layers of time that surround us and create the location´s special quality.

Here, many types of movement unfold simultaneously. Everything from the constant rippling of the water to the geometric formations of swallows. From the movement of the sand underneath the soles of the feet to the rhythmical dance of the tectonic plates.

In Spacing Out, the landscape is as important as the performers. Spacing out connects the wandering gaze of the audience with the transformations of the cloud formations and the dance of the performer. Letting the dance colour the setting of the sun. The landscape is involved in its entirety.

Spacing Out suggests stories and relationships without conclusions. Spacing out reminds us of how complex the impact of places is on our bodies, on our thoughts – and our imagination.
