In føremørk, two bodies move in a landscape shaped by years of correspondence.
Through a long exchange of online letters, they have shared the everyday, the intimate, the private and the details in what surrounds them. They lead each other into dim terrains, where the body is pulled in and dragged out again. Side by side they move forward, pick up what appears along the way and put it into their pockets.
Drawing on animated worlds, the clumsy and hopeful act of being human, the layers of social codes, and a hundred pages of letters, they have created a dance universe that gives weight to both the drama and the dryness that shapes daily life.
What lives inside the tiny details of a day? What is allowed to unfold inside you while buying groceries at Rema 1000?
føremørk is made in close collaboration with an invaluable artistic team, all sharing the wish to craft a work with its own identity and inner logic, one that leans into both sorrow and joy, the grotesque, the fragile, and the quietly alluring. A world unfolding at the threshold between day and night.
