Facts
“According to Danish mythology, Odin gained wisdom, poetry, and magic when he sacrificed one of his eyes. In Ireland, there is a long tradition of the wisdom and otherworldly insights of the blind seer. Blind musicians such as Turlough O’Carolon and bards such as Antoine O’Raifteiri captured the sounds, stories, and rhythms of life around them in the haunting music and poetry that still exist today. “
In this performance, the audience is invited to tone down their dominant sense—sight—and open themselves up to the gifts that can arise through a deeper connection to hearing (inner resonance, imagination?) and touch. Blindfolds will be available to the audience to support this sensory exploration.
The performance is the result of an international collaboration between singer-songwriters Emilie Conway and Sussie Luscinia Nielsen, sound artist David Navndrup Black, and dancers and a facilitator from the FIMD performance group: Paulina Rewucka, Lisa Dahlkild, Bettina Stoholm, Tom Sonntag, Piyannah Hassing, and Inge Marie Baiocchi.
The performance will be in Danish, English, and Gaelic
