to revel in the seemingly endless völundarhús

fanfare
2024
Operatic performance
Length and scope vary

Presented at Hamraborg Festival (IS), and the Sandberg Instituut Graduation Exhibition (NL)

In to revel in the seemingly endless völundarhús, a solo performer takes a mental health walk, walking back and forth in one spot - depending on the lyrics and their mood. When to revel in the seemingly endless völundarhús is performed straight after frequency of immediacy or núna strax, the vocal ensemble from frequency of immediacy or núna strax should accompany the soloist on bird sounds or flutes.

Performed at the Sandberg Graduation exhibition by Ari Teperberg, Caz Egelie, Hildur Elísa Jónsdóttir, Mica Pan, Michiel Teeuw, SasaHara Ghanem-Chaney and Simone Goslinga, and at Hamraborg Festival by Fríða Bessadóttir, Gunnlaugur Bjarnason, Hildur Elísa Jónsdóttir, Olivia Pyszko and Ragnar Árni Ólafsson

this state of being
it feels so obsolete
and yet in this darkness
everything’s so sweet

i’ve got to set a new tone
and do shit with my time
but it’s really ofboðslega scary
what if this is my prime?

fuck fuck fuck fuck
andskotans djöfuls shit
helvítis fucking fuck
this just can’t be it

i’ve got to do things with my
little rounded life
be the stuff dreams are made on
get out there and look alive

time’s like water
it gently slips away
where there once was plenty
there’s less everyday
