Symbiotic Stages (Rosendal Remains), 2023
Scenographic work. Rosendal Teater. Trondheim. NO
Description
Symbiotic Stages (Rosendal Remains) is a scenographic work, a motion picture, made for Sal 1 at Rosendal Teater. A work which interweaves different stages through which the theatre has journeyed over the past 100 years, into an experience of past and now. Layers of images and structures are composed into a symbiotic staging of the buildings past as a cinema from 1921 and onwards. You are invited to a breathing scenographic meditation, a possibility to see oneself as part of the work, while being flooded by rhythmic light through an experience blurring the boundaries between illumination and image, imagination and information, depth and surface, background and foreground.
The work reflects, reimagines, remembers and restages the past of Rosendal Teater. Seeking an experience of simultaneous movement and stillness, a feeling of how everything always moves.
Symbiotic Stages (Rosendal Remains) is part of Jakob Oredssons artistic research project Scenography as Symbiosis at Norwegian Theatre Academy, Østfold University College.
