So far so good
Hestnes/Popović
Have you noticed how good we are at knowing things? We always know where to go, or where to find information about where to go. We are bad at not knowing. If you want to not know, then you have to make an effort. Actively ignore all the information that lies in front of you at all times.
If you don’t want to know, you have to close your eyes
Or turn off the light
Or unplug the power
And just sit there
In the darkness.

About the performance
Our lives are composed by a series of events, phenomenas and experiences that point to each other in a causal network. We try as best we can to navigate the signs that surrounds us. Both the signs we do not manage to decipher, and the ones we create, in an attempt to surrender power and responsibility to something outside of ourselves.
In So Far So Good we meet in a place both a theater and dungeon, an old greek arena and a dance club. Sound and vibrations encompass the space, filling in the blanks where words come to short and the audience is invited to take part in the odd and long lost ritual of confessing and cleansing your sins to the scapegoat. Our contemporary society offers us many ways to mute feelings of discomfort related to the status of the world, but nearly always as individuals. In So Far So Good we wish to enter the feeling of unease together, sit with it, possibly punch it out in the end.
About Hestnes / Popović
Freya Sif Hestnes and Marina Popović create work through a common interest in memory, storytelling and how we as individuals take space in a community.Going at it with a devotion for details and diversions, they insist that the personal and emotional is political and research how this can be experienced in immersive, sensorial and poetical performances.
They work with an enthusiasm for the overlooked in history, often inviting the audience to take part and together question what stories and powerdynamics shape our understanding of ourselves.
The international touring and creating of Hestnes / Popović`s work has been supported by the Danish and Norwegian Arts Councils, Performing Arts Hub Norway, Fond For Utøvende Kunstnere and The Norwegian Center for new playwriting.
