Koreografin gestaltar och förstärker texterna i
ett visuellt uttrycksfullt flöde.

Kyrillien
YLVA Q ARKVIK / LISA ULLÉN / CAROLINE ÖSTBERG
In Kyrillien a gentle scraping of metallic plates mixes with Buddhist monks singing while a coffee mill rumbles in the background and the sound continues in the movement of the arm. Electronic sounds are propagated in the piano strings and rises through the microphone into the speakers where the sounds are blended into a delightful, playful touch. Kyrillien is a composition correspondence between Ylva Q Arkviks structures and Lisa Ulléns sounds and Caroline Östbergs choreographic writing, where the whole group are inspired and influenced by each others expression and technique.
A concert and performance with prepared piano, electronics, choreography and lighting.

Lenja and Yas, living in a marriage but yet with emotional distance between them. They can connect in their mutual love for the soon expected child but soon other thoughts drives them apart. How is the ordinary day for a suicide-bomber? How is the every day life for their families?
