The birthday and other tales…

1. Happy Hatchday

Because of a big, rapidly approaching project I spent all of my birthday at NPS, passionately engaged in choreographing my solo for the upcoming adventure.

Although I must say, it was not completely without celebrations. My beloved boss for instance presented me with the sexiest and most diabolically delicious chocolate cake as well as the biggest fucking flower bouquet I’ve ever seen. Furthermore I had a danish man cook me a magnificent three course dinner very late at night and received a birthday kit with practical items from my mom. All in all, a remarkable birthday filled with sweat, stretching, chocolate and food, I couldn’t be happier.

2. JULIETTE

Last Saturday I took some time out of my busy schedule to see “Juliette” as performed by Turteatern, a small theatre company based in a Stockholm. And srsly, They’ve got the MOST skill and ingenuity up in that bitch, lemme tell you… I was so impressed with their solutions for transforming that text into a stage production (admittedly, before the show I was slightly apprehensive concerning the execution, because in my own embarrassing small-mindedness I couldn’t see a way of tackling all the difficulties with presenting such a…. voluptuous piece of writing without either ridiculing it to bits or turning it into a base, violent and destructive orgy of pointless gore.), somehow they managed to keep all the layers of philosophy, politics, depravation and sexuality that I love about the story of Juliette and let them slowly unfold to the audience without sacrificing or compromising it’s crude CHOCOLATE-PUDDING-IN-YOUR-MOTHERFUCKING-FACE qualities.

Something should also be said for the attention to detail and charming sense of humour that ran consistently through the show, one favourite of my audience ally and mine was the “YES WE CAN!” sofa in the background. My tits off the the whole ensemble for creating this brilliant play, and I hope that the audience will continue to grow. Also, this coming week end is the last chance to see it, so if you’re in Stockholm (and understand swedish), buy some tickets and bring your friends for this type of genius needs to be spread. SPREAD!

 

3. Soft Cream White and Pale Opaline Grey (herein unfold my binaries)

My mysteriously mysterious performance went very well. 7 persons live to tell the tale, unfortunately there will be no more installations of this work apart from two very special requests. But do not fret! There are more performances to look forward to, among others my looming contribution to Power Distortion 2 in 2012.
