GREASE IS THE WAY WE ARE FEELING

TEATERFESTIVALEN I FJALER, 2019

Grease is the way we are feeling is a specialization in the musical Grease. For a long time, Marie and Morten have listened to Grease, inspired by the accordionist Pauline Oliveros and her method Deep Listening. Deep Listening evolved under the earth in 1988, and is all about listening to everything. The method helps you to constantly perceive more, and thus also understand that listening always contains too much unknown to be fully understood. The world is big, oneself is quite small, and things are more complex than you think. Through listening, Grease has gradually opened up, come to them, and found new ways out through the body and voice.

«... a low-key, witty and intense show that includes recorder, spoken word, accordion and contemporary dance versions of several songs from the famous musical. (...) It is possible to see the performance series as an ironic project, but it is rather an almost childish fervor that dominates. Instead, we in the audience were infected by the deep listening technique, so that every tiny movement and breath from both performers and fellow audience members became an important part of the experience.
