When we’re in love, lie awake at night and can’t sleep, it’s because the soul is growing wings. We idolize the one we think of. Love is blind.

In Love & Emotions the audience is seated in the centre of the room, like a reversed amphitheatre, surrounded by the dancers’ movements, sounds from various radio stations and a narrator’s voice. When listening to the radio or a podcast, we create our own images while simultaneously doing other things. In this case, we watch three dancers. They control the gaze of the spectators through proximity and distance, and by seeing each other, seeing themselves, embodying the act of seeing, overlooking, portraying, and imagining.

Choreographed by Karen Eide Bøen and performed by Maia Means, Oda Brekke and Bente Westgård.

It premiered at BIT Teatergarasjen, Bergen, February 14th 2019.
