Inspired by futuristic and abstract expressions, the performance explores a visual and musical language through improvisation, where the goal is to create atmospheres that invite free association and wonder.

Recycling plays a central role; instruments and visual objects are made from recycled materials – from an old spinning wheel with metal fittings to a rattling cardboard box full of bottle caps. Shadows and close-ups of the objects, projected on stage, create a vibrant and playful universe.

The associations reach both to Reodor Felgen and artists like Jean Tinguely and Piet Mondrian, drawing inspiration from the "found objects" tradition. The audience embarks on an improvised journey through light and music that creates space for free association, presence, and community. The performers show how everyday objects are given new life and how light and sound interact with one another.

The Pond is a collaboration between the improvisation trio Parallax and lighting artist Evelina Dembacke, continuing the success of the popular performance Lydrommet, with over 1000 performances. This is contemporary art for both children and adults – a sensory experience that captivates across ages and allows for free imagination.

Relaxed performance

In this performance we use bean bags and cushions as an alternative to chairs. Sounds and movements from the audience are welcome. Visitors can leave and return to the performance space at any time. We have a relaxed area in the theatre that you can retreat to if necessary. Please note that the lights sometimes flash during the performance, but there are never strobe lights.
