Triptych 0811
Triptych 0811 (2012) is a dance production by Ella Christina Fiskum which explores the relationship between dream, ambition and reality. While commonsense may urge us to continue on a certain path, the supremacy of human desire can lead us astray. The visual aesthetic is inspired by the Baroque period, aspiring to create a dreamstate in counterpoint to the more or less harsh realities of life achieved via technological construct and dramatic costume.

Using classical ballet vocabulary in stark contrast to aspects of contemporary life, Fiskum culls together a theatrical dreamscape: a woman in a burqa, a ballerina turned nightclub dancer, a Hollywood starlet played by a man, and a prima ballerina.
The performance seeks to unpack the layers of these personages, consciousness, re-create the poetics of the everyday, and challenge common perceptions. The use of technology, digital video integrated stage design and lighting, will act as a prism through which the characters’ nature can be revealed. This is partly inspired by ideas of the embodied mind from cognitive science, from psychogeography, about the individual’s relation to its environment and expanded cinema.
Triptych 0811 by Ella Christina Fiskum is supported by Arts Council Norway, The Fund for Performing Artists, The Audio Visual Fund, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (travel grant/performing arts).
