LuxTempus is an outdoor performance where interactive installation art and contemporary dance are combined to create a momentarily halt in time within the public, open space.
The surroundings affect how the installation, with its colourful panels, is perceived by the audience. It is therefore both a reflecting object reacting to its environments and interactive installation where you are free to move around as you wish.
The project is a collaboration between
set designer Mari Lotherington, light designer Torbjørn Sandnes and myself.
It premiered outside Tromsø Kunstforening in 2020 and has since been on tour with Dance Network Norway in 2022 and additionally been programmed to CODA - Oslo International Dance Festival, Ekebergparken Oslo, and Baredans in Bodø.
Experiencing LuxTempus is an aesthetic pleasure, and even though the cold weather urges me to go inside, there is a warmth in her expression that makes me stay.

It is clear that they have had to think about how to perform without being close to the audience members. Nonetheless, it is nice to see that they have managed to make this the strength of the project. It is through the alternating encounter that the theatrical essense shines through.
