IMITATING REALNESS av Hanna Våge Skjeggestad

A sensual exploration of the intersection between reality and imitation

IMITATING REALNESS is a solo dance piece where play with imitation establishes a shared reality between performer and audience. The performance physically explores human and animal movements, adopting different movement logics to create dissonance in the audience's perception of the dancer's physical execution. By working with imitation in various ways and through small shifts in perspective, the performance also reflects on the relationship between nature and culture.

In Imitating Realness, Våge Skjeggestad aims to create a constant change in the audience's perception. The interest lies in not concluding too quickly about what is around us but rather observing fluid transitions.
