He walks beside her. Their hands are clasped togehter, tighter than ever. She wonders and looks
everybody in chorus
the weight distributed through her skeleton, down on the feet one by one and all the way to the floor, its unbalanced, with the spine whirling about, and a brain-container on top of it with dead material hanging form the skull
overintensified presence?
she takes her skeleton out and puts it in their hands
each bone at a time
Perhaps, you want to say something? The piano? Sound?
she plays with her hands.
he sings
chorus of sounds
you need to scroll down the cursor
Johan enters the stage
two looks away
Sybrig eat the banana
swallowing, digesting, bits of an apple miving down to his stomach
Johan is eating an apple.
gives it away
Will you sit down at by a talbe while eating.
We don't want the scene to get all messy
she pushes one away
A conversation, a cannot hear what they say, only the humming sound of voices.
eat more
Johan: I am hungry!
she cries
Suddenly, wild gestures. As if the discussion had increased in intensity. You shouldn't hav brought it up.
one is dying
- What?
- What you just said.
two is dead
down please, fall down pleas, deeper lower and lower the sound too!kdh
gives him a leg
So, what hare you doing, exactly?
Looking at each others' legs.
pushes an arm with a head
Well, do something useful, will you
green gene gene kelly! green looks good on the tall blond woman she's shivering, maybe something is bothering her, something is cooling her heart, she's shivering and ... wondering how she can connect to what's around her
plie

Can you reveal yourselves. Who are you? The real you I mean.
J is training for the next Miss Umeå context. basically she will have to walk with lots of ease and sinuously
- She is almost ready
what about the swimming suit round? behind the screen
She faints.
He faints too.
He also faints.
The air is thick like... stewed fruit.
the johanized woman
are the mikes on? i think so...
- - - - - - - - SCENE 1 - - - - - - - -
waiting
the sound of fabrics being [sorry] torn to pieces.
i hear ....
no.
- I guess it was just a question of time really.
- Really?
- Yeah, really
Please sit down at a computer.just write
She walks back and forth. Makes a little jump now and then, just to show how happy she is. It's her birthday. Cake with lit candels a waiting. Don't wait too long. They might burn down, and the cream gets burned. We don't want that.
Just a second before her brain blows.
BAAAAAAAAAUUM! (always that scenic violence, is it really necessary?)
and this music was the same during maybe 3 min, again and again
again and again
tin tin tin good stop,
You see. Something needs to happen. [how could something not happen?] Where did the pianist go. Did you shoot him?
Well, guess he is playing at some bar, getting all drunk in the middle of the day. That's a pitty. Such a talented guy. But you can't really help people like that. All you can do is let them be. Let them pass away as fast as possible to reduce the pain. Or is it pain?
one is waiting with hands up
a police crosses the room
waiting WAITING - 4 people
- I don't see anything
one banana done
Do you know the song from Mahler, I can't let go of this world?
_ nO
- I can almost hear it now
no
As you can see, this is actually a depressing scene. All empty. Just the sound of a restaurant in the background. But people. No voices.
one gets shot
From the right side of the stage we hear a whispering voice.
a pillow 2 oranges one banana forming a smiling face
a black boxin the back
There is no music coming from the piano, and the chair is empty. All chairs a repositioned on stage. forming a line crossing from right back corner to the front left corner.
The smell of food penetrates the auditorium.
The pillow looks happy, but the piano doesn't
A glass of orange juice, a man slowly drinks it
The postman rings, a letter with the sound of piano playing.
It is not beautiful, but sad.
all become a chorus
(never twice)
The piano makes a sound
And another one
And another one
I think they are called notes
People sit down in the row of chairs, as if waiting for something
Massage takes place
We har an anoying child's voice singing
A chair is knocked over
The child is singing louder
one needs help
And it is still annoying
One couple is forming what seems to be an airplane
Water
Can we see some faces. Just turn around slowly and then look back at the screen again.
Almost everyone is wearing glasses in order to see better
Except two of the performers
Someone is trying to get away from the airplane hunting her
Well, it drowned.
More water
Is someone drowning?
Yes and no one. Depends on if you ant to define a airplane as a living being. Guess that in a way it drowns when the engin is all wet an usless.
- How did we get here?
She looks at her.
Why did the water stop?
- Do you believe in God?
The glass of justice is not empty yet drink it up now!
- Do I believe in God?
- What do you believe in?
- That the glass of juice is not empty yet
- I don't understand a thing of what you are saying, can you explain it to me?
- No.
- OK.
- The glass of juice is not for me to explain
- I see, but how shall we proceed?
- Yes
- End of story.
- Can it be?
The board is unbalanced, so is the text on the board that says "unbalanced"
So, what to do?
just write and do not think so much
two is bleading
A child is talking.
- - - - - - - - SCENE 2 - - - - - - - -
The piano is playing alone Children are not allowed in bars. Could you show them out.
A chair is knocked over again. Loudly
A man drinks the glass of juice
one is shoot in the stomach
The pianist is drunk now. Thinking about her fear of... No she doesn't want to go there. Tries to make the music shild her off.
There are no fluit players in the bar.
2 women moving on the floor NOT LONGER only one
one other will play piano
one is taking off her shoes
a third is writing the menu
A pair of eyes, red. a face the nose is coming , red now a
- This is the first time I have ever felt love!
The woman puts her shoes on again and will stay on the chair
The women at the piano start singing
- 4 women 2 men
- some people sitting some people standing, some people with dark clothes some whit light, some with shoes some without
THe man sitting in profile in the middle of stage think: -
I always wanted to see it with my own eyes
long hair - short hair
equally sitting
common shape unique person
the pillow is a being of nonhuman intelligence
Alignment of chairs.
Tuomas: What are they thinking about?
one leaves the room
the pillow is going through all of their minds, all over space
Hands looking for each other.
this is an atmospheric moment
two starts to kiss
blue floats
we're in a prolonged state of exceptional living
enjoy it at lot lot lot lot in few few few black and white.
the tv is disrupting the migrational pattern of the chairs. chaos
What are they watching? TV? inside? outside?
One leaves. one lives
He switches channel. He's alienated. he wants to chanel reality
We are followers
He switches channel again. It it same same but different.
The TV challenges reality - switch to a dead channel. White Noise.

Patients rehabilititing
They have all been victims of traffic accidents.
It is so hard to get back to normal life.
Perhaps dance will help them
They look so alive again
Remember them all covered in bandages and sitting in wheelchairs
Now they move. Beautifully.
They are in the cellar of the hospital.
That was the only space they got for rehearsing.
Next Tuesday they will make a performance.
All the parents will be coming.
she is maybe a good doctor
litlle bit unbalanced
she is a bit sick herself, so she started to dance with the patients.
you know
actually its a sacred rite from tibet, into which they are fooled
thinking they are inside a dance rehearsal or opera performance happening
they all remember that accident in the bus. but they never talk about it.
they are through with that. it's the past.
it's time to look FORWARD!
4 people
waiting, looking around, hesitATING
- - - - - - - - SCENE 4 - - - - - - - -
She takes the pillow
A girl put the the sexy shoes on
secrets
cheap intentions
- We pay alot of cash for this. But she's not here. Because it's just a rehersal. But that's ok.
it never has been a rehearsal
- nothing is prepared, only pared/paired
IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.
they lost the mood they
the pillow might be alive
two shoots in the leg
he is bleading heavily
someone leaves the room
and read
a monologue that creates a bridge to yesterdays performance at Bildmuseet.
they know each other, they were lovers, it is dramatic, change the music please
An angel whisper to Johan.
tell me your story
the secret one, about you
don´t you dare to...
CHANGE THE MUSIC
take my breath away and jump to the rythm jump jump
they will start to jump
once uppon a time
She directs him with her feet for one minute, until she is content.
She is just moving, you know,
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A monologue on confusion.
A dance on nothing.
can you constantly smile while dancing?
try again
can you constantly smile while dancing? while sleeping?
Two people lying down. Mirroring each other.
Their shape form valleys and hills.
Church bells ringing. A clock ticking. This peace is about time.
Hungry animals comes running over the savannah
brahmssnortoysbreathe
change the energy
do not die on stage
- - - - - - - - SCENE 5 - - - - - - - -
4 people spooning.
1 walk around them on all 4. Starts to run in a circle.
Girl 1: We are trying to sleep hear. I don't want to be rude or anything but...
Boy 1: Ok sorry.
Boy 2 awakens looking at the audience.
wakes up the others.
hugs each and every person not there
Boy 1 hiding behind the piano.
drops dead
let's rock istead
should i stay or should i go
Boy 2: I want to give a speech. Can someone write me a speech?
it is something I would like to tell you guys
I have been a little bit confused
one crying one leaving
some peolple
told me i am
a bit too strong
I would like to tell you about dance.
"They" have told me I was unbalanced
I should find a different profession
the they is really important
They think I would be a better priest
but who are they?
it is really the right question
in a big church I would speak in tongues'
THey are really concerned about me
They came to pick me up at my home.
They brought me to this place.
they are the the one that can help me to think They
the people
two dead one crying
are mostly right
They make me do things. They make me dance.
They give me food. They gave me a bed. They are not in the room
They are always present.
they smell good
They go on vacation a lot and explain me how to continue to disturb the others
they pay the bills
they help me to improve myself
they speak another language
They don't think that they know me
It is my right
me too
i want to have lunch
me too
Me too
Buffé
take his pants off
help him
help him n another way
HELP HIM
i would like to help myself
find love and reach the other side
I can maybe do it know
i'm about to help myselfish
I have to think
let the silence helps
you are on the other side so all is fine and you did find love
a there there I saw some meaning
I am now alone and succeed in ereasing the others
but someone is still moving on the stage, invisible
I am he best
shot in the leg
but
but
rosebud
is there someone hiding here
we are all hiding here, and one is widing here
i will never give up I just did
shot in the head
the moment we choosed to stop we stopped thinking
its not a very safe hiding place i have to say
its so open
bang
yes its very safe here
not even enough food
we can easily do without food when we have each other
i would argue that the point it to not hide
let me leave
i feel unsafe
kill me
BANG
what happens if we continue to not allow ourselves to stop, where can we end up then? we will get to different levels of interaction
now the end has been ritualized
and confirmed by the community
but we can rebel against the ending
and keep on forever
of course and once again we failed so beyond measurement
h a ha ha
its ok we still love ourselves
dadadadooom
the moment we feel satisfied with what we do, we might as well stop for good!!!!!
yes, maybe we can have the flights back earlier?
i will pay it myself!
thanks, johan, i love you too
i love you too tooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmy
love me still
