About this performance

With a passing nod to Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape and a swipe at the age of selfies, this theater/dance performance examines the very moment something or someone is captured, recorded and then memorialized through technology. In an age where pictures and film are frequently doctored, Findlay//Sandsmark draw a line between the fragile image and the fallibility of memory.

Featuring performances by Norwegian choreographer Marit Sandsmark and Klaus Kinski look-alike Joey Truman, a relentless live sound score by Pål Asle Pettersen, and text from Artforum/New York Times critic and poet Claudia La Rocco.

About the artist

Findlay//Sandsmark

Findlay//Sandsmark (F//S) is a Norway-based performance company working across the disciplines of dance, theater, live music and video art. For the past five years the constellation of Iver Findlay and Marit Sandsmark have created several productions in the borderland between performing arts and installation, bending connections and correlations between disciplines to create live art that resonates from a physical and emotional plane. In that brief time, they have made five large-scale performances: now and nowhere else (2010), fractured bones/ let’s get lost (2011/2012), biograph, last year was pretty/shitty (2013/2014), o’ death (2014/2015), and (re)remember study (2015/2016) as well as several other shorter pieces/installations.
