DEN LÅNGA VÄGEN
An interactive, musical puppet/object theater show
What if Lewis Caroll wrote “The Little Red Riding Hood” and then made a musical theater show out of it? “The Long Way” is our answer to that question. We all know that Little Red Riding Hood chose the long way to her grandmother’s house. But maybe the way was not actually that long, maybe it only seemed long, since the little girl was distracted of the woods’ secrets and mystical creatures? What adventures awaited her in the forest and whom did she meet? We let the kids decide! In this playful show loosely based on the famous fairy tale, we allow our imagination go wild and encourage the children to use their ability of transforming everyday reality into magical, wondrous landscapes. After we have established the frame of the familiar fairy tale, we invite the audience on a fantastic and unpredictable journey. Everything is possible, the only limit is our own imagination.
The show premiered in November, 2022 at Barnens Scen (Malmo).

ATMOSPHERICS
”Atmospherics” is an immersive sound experience with two musicians, spoken word, dynamic visuals and an interactive element for the audience. During the show the audience-members become gradually more and more engaged in the musical process by contributing with their own sound-making, and towards the end they create and perform a musical piece together with the artists. Examples of musical concepts explored together with the audience are the transformation of non-musical sounds like clapping and heartbeat into music and the manipulation of sound by loop machines and live electronics.
Visuals are a part of the immersive experience: the music stations are highlighted by light and projections, while the musical pieces are accompanied by animations that are projected on a transparent screen and by a light design that makes the musicians behind the screen seem like a part of the projections.
