From Black Box teater’s season programmet 2020:
"HEARTFELT began with the desire to learn to play the harp. To dancer and choreographer Magnus Myhr the curve of the harp's spine and its vibrating strings made it akin to a body. Learning the instrument introduced Myhr to an acoustic environment that excited new ways of listening and sharing. It pushed him to discard the comfort of habit and dedicate himself to less familiar territory.
In Trondheim there was one boy who played the harp. He was beautiful, and seemed so secure in himself. I simply called him "the harp boy", and I knew we were quite similar. Eventually I started dancing, while he continued to play the harp. I admired him from a distance, hoping that I would one day would become as courageous as him."
