HAUT Eksil: Emilia Gasiorek / Lowlands

Residensperiode: 9. – 12. december 2019

Åbne Scene and HAUT is excited to invite YOU to a work-in-progress showing of ‘Lowlands’, a solo by Emilia Gasiorek in collaboration with mentor Emma-Cecilia Ajanki and scenographic and costume collaborator Lea Paulsen. The showing is a culmination of a 1-week Eksil at Åbne Scene.

The Eksil-showing is free and will last about 30 minutes. Afterwards there will be an informal feedback session between the artists and audience, facilitated by Emma-Cecilia Ajanki.

Please let us know if you are coming by booking a (free) ticket.

Lowlands is a soft lament to the voice of self-critique. Tumbling into the space after sadness and catching the inner voice of judgement, it shapes a dream-like trance that lulls and endures. Images emerge through the watery tissue of the work, evoking a body falling apart and gathering itself together again, a body at sea and a body on a patchwork of waves. Lowlands is about the aesthetics of perceived inadequacy, the common fear of lack of creativity, and the anxiety of production. It constructs a blue world where the fragility of these emotions are contained with care, creating ripples of paper and painterly images.
