Sound Installation
Maritea Dæhlin
Sleep Locks the Bones
(limited capacity 10 beds/participants only for each performance)
Sleep Locks the Bones by Maritea Dæhlin is a sound installation where text and voice stand at the center in a collective experience around the theme of sleep. Audiences, in small groups, are invited to settle into a comfortable position, relax, and then listen to a voice that fails to do just that: to relax. The piece intertwines language, rhythms, narratives, and dreams, creating a vibrant scenic auditory landscape. “Sleep” is the theme that ties it all together. Sleep as a metaphor for a place where we can completely let go, feel safe, give space to our subconsciousness and dreams. But also an invocation of its opposite: being completely awake, so much so that you continuously read the world around you.
Concept, direction, text and voice: Maritea Dæhlin. Sound design by Truls Hannemyr.
Scenography and lights by Corentin JPM Leven. Props, scenography by Soh Tokunaga.
Commissioned by Nordic Black Theatre (Oslo). Co-production: Black Box teater (Oslo).
