Nervous Hunter

In two parts:

1) A performance/installation, and
2) a performance with some participation from the public

inspired by light, love, relationships built through the light of laptops and cell phones, the light motif in Romeo & Juliet, secrets/confessions/stars, healing, the passing of time, new skin, and famous Icelandic love stories.

“We can say it begins with a dream. A kind of omen. A man dreams that he sees a beautiful white swan. An eagle lands and sits beside the swan. After some time, another eagle arrives. The two eagles fight and they kill each other. Then a falcon arrives and comforts the swan. The two fly off together.

The man is very disturbed by this dream.

And he decides he does not want to have a daughter.”
