Jag er en sadist
Jag er en sadist
det vet jag nu
jag vil så gjerna
få ur min ljud
och dansa vals med den
och dansa vals med den
om ett så springer den ur min hud
det vet jag nu
jag vil så gjerna
få ur min ljud
och dansa vals med den
och dansa vals med den
om ett så springer den ur min hud

Solveig Ylva Dagsdottir invites you to "AUDITORIUM", her final MA scenography research presentation and graduation production in Fredrikstad. In this wk, she is working together with Anna Utermøhl Lund in Auditorium A-421 at Høgskolen I Østfold, campus Fredrikstad.Together, they explore the staging of ambiguity as a way to release the potential of the empty space. The audience is invited into a lecture-like setting that takes the context and situation of this specific space as its starting point.
The basis of her explorations concerns the hidden and repressed in the environment around us. The intent is to uncover invisible structures of power and oppression that play into our perception of space. In her research, nothingness is understood as parts of space that are not immediately perceivable to the eye and are often suppressed or overlooked when we think of what a space consists of.
To understand the potential within this emptiness or nothingness, she has been looking at how the material within the ‘nothingness’ behaves or act differently to the visible, and what it by this allow us to experience. The matter of nothingness wants to move. It isn't still and restricted to certain movements, in contrary to the visible. Drawing parallels to 'dirt theories' and ideas of taboo from Mary Douglas and Sara Ahmed, she explores whether the potential of 'dirt' and 'the empty' can be used to create scenography.
Her understanding is that the constant transformation of material—particularly the unclean or hidden—creates a spatial experience. Ambiguity provides a way to explore this transformation.
