The part of the reality I need (paper circus) (2009)

A live event with paper and ink and  in collaboration with circus students. Out of a poem of mine, a setdesign, costumes, props and a circusperformance was being made.
The event took place during one afternoon in a space with glass walls in a shopping mall. The act starts with an empty room with paper on the floor, and the perfomers in
black dancing suits. On the wall a giant handwritten ”to do list” was´ hanging as well as the poem. The set and props and costumes was made out of paper and ink.
The poem is a part of The part of the reality I need (2009) a work made as a public comission for Stora Sätra school in Gävle.
