Description

Brígida Molina is a Spanish artist specialized in performing art. As part of the project she will do a one month artistic residence in Stamsund, Lofoten (Norway). Molina will collaborate with the Spanish artist Sara Serrano and Eilertsen & Granados Theatre Company. The theatre company, situated in Stamsund, was founded by Andreas Eilertsen (from Norway) and Cristina Granados (from Spain). It bases its experience in the expressive physical theatre and has extensively studied the connection between live music and theater. The project, “Cosh. Playing Around Invisibility”, is the continuation of a research project that started with “Cosh. On Love & Death”. The objective of the second part is to connect the concept of “cosh” (gaelic word which means a hidden place where someone feels safe or protected) to the idea of invisibility. Brígida Molina will share her research through the use of sound and image dramaturgy. The installation will also have live art elements such as performing actions and a rhythmic and casual development of the actions. The result of the project will be showed at the Stamstund International Theatre Festival that is taking place from 27 May - 1 June 2014.

The result of the project was shown on 28 May at the Stamstund International Theatre Festival that took place from 28 April until 3 June 2014. The project was developed around three interconnected axes: the projection of written texts (which were read individually by members of the public), audible texts and the projection of individual interviews contextualized in the same space: “the secret hideout”. The project was shown in two 20 minutes parts followed by a conversation between the artists and the public.
