LAYING ON OF HANDS
​
MAJORSTUA PRAYER HOUSE (SCENEHUSET), 2022
LAYING ON OF HANDS is a two-story choreography and flute concert for the Majorstua prayer house. Even though we as we as dance artists know the room (Scenehuset) very well, as a central place for dance art for many years, another work space opens up when we turn it around and take the house of prayer that it once was into the body. There is a different listening to what has been, and new fantasies emerge in the attention we give to the room.
