Twisted Forest

Iført en beskyttende dragt føres du igennem krat, over træstubbe, ned ad skrænter, helt tæt på bark og græs. TWISTED FOREST ligger udenfor stierne og manifesterer sig i usynlige zoner spredt ud i landskabet. Du er først klar over, at du er i en zone, når du træder ind i den.

I nogle zoner møder du performere, der udfordrer din umiddelbare opfattelse af stedet og åbner mørklagte facetter af dine sanser – godt hjulpet af skovens geniale anatomi.

Andre gange finder din gruppe selv sin retning og inviteres ind i oplevelser via det interaktive soundscape.

If you were a stone
you would be so much more wise

one by one
you could move the minerals inside you
refining and rebuilding
your own dense space

all movements
so well thought through

you would be lying for millions of years
on the sea bed

letting your body soften
by gentle underwater streams

you could use a millenium
absorbing a luminous tongue of chalk

grow crystals and shadows of small animals

you would sense the changing eras, ice ages
as a fast moving pulse

at some point
the sea would sink
forest would rise on your sides
trees would drop their pines and leaves on you

in your stable structures
thoughts of eternal wisdom
would appear
and fade away again

pleasure would be raindrops
playfully painting your surface
a crack, an earthquake, a forest fire
would cheer you up

If you were a stone
you feel the people standing here
as subtle watery weights on top of you

(pause) 

so now reach down
touch one piece of rock
rub it with your fingers
Imagine the thoughts
burried inside

when you are ready 

              leave this place
