New Old
New Old is rather personal. It is on the verge, if not already way over the edge, to something private. Meandering between topics such as the fear of peeing oneself, the mouth-like quality of the vulva, the phenomenologically fascinating thing of being two people at once for a while, as well as how musical the word ‘pussy’ is in different languages, and the consequences thereof.
New Old moves in and out of internal and external spaces, shoots through the roof with vectors of high hissing sounds, landing in melodic phrases and floating just above the heads of its audience.
Curated by Andrea Maurer
is a choreographer and performer who works with music and dance. She uses her voice and body to play space as if it were an instrument. Her ongoing research deals with how we listen as we look and the relationship between the ear and the eye. She has grounded her practice in a number of solo performances in which she developed an idiorhythmic way of creating. In the two ongoing music projects, wowawiwa and John the Houseband, she has worked in collaboration with the other artists Anja Müller, Dennis Deter, Hendrik Willekens, Roger Sala Reyner and Melkorka Sigridur Magnusdottir. In all her works, she collaborates closely with sound artist Hendrik Willekens. Alma Söderberg has won the Thalia Prize and has been granted the Cullberg scholarship.
