Residency ‘Solaris?’

Just finished off three beautiful weeks in Hammerfest at a residency with Davvi - Center for Performing Arts. Great weather, fantastic nature, and the not so fantastic, but fascinating fire at Melkøya, lots of laughter and strange occurrences with great colleagues Marit Meløe, Maria Dorothea Schrattenholz, and Thomas Schaupp.
Working with a script for the first time has also been very rewarding. Now I’m even more inclined to yet again delve into Stanislaw Lem’s estranged depictions of the oceanic planet Solaris… 🧿

"Solaris?" will premiere next summer!

I took the photo during a improvisation session with Marit outside. I thought the stick had a character that reminded me of Snaut from the novel.

The infamous fire at Melkøya.

The industrial island is the endpoint of the undersea pipeline that transports natural gas from the Snøhvit natural gas fields in the Barents Sea.
