with Emy Storm

(…) Behind the wall of Jannicke Låkers installation is, for example, an old woman with thigh bone fracture (played by Emy Storm) and sighs vanity while the audience discreetly peeks into her apartment from the ceiling. A strange, eerie work that better than anything else, captures what this evening is about: contact and isolation (…)

PER, 03:30-7:30 NOEN GANG I MARS 1998

…IS A PERFORMANCE BY JANNICKE LÅKER WHERE THE AUDIENCE IS TAKEN ON A BUS RIDE TO THE OUSKIRTS OF MALMÖ. THE EVENT IN THE PERFORMANCE IS BASED ON A GENUINE PERSON AND SITUATION. THE STORY HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND IS BEING DESCRIBED THROUGH THE CHARACHTER’S PHYSICAL CONDITION. THE SURROUNDINGS ARE PARTLY AUTHENTIC:

– AN EARLY MORNING IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF CIVILISATION IN SWEDEN SOMETIME IN MARCH 1998… (From press release)

The performance took place 29 February and 1 & 2 March, 06.30 in the morning. The audience met up at the performance studio in Malmö and were served breakfast and coffee and then taken on a 7 minutes bus ride. The performance shows a drunken man struggling to cross a muddy field. The sound from the man is played out at the loudspeakers inside the bus.

The idea was to take the audience on a safari to observer a happening about vulnerability and helplessness -where the civilized meets the uncivilized.
