ARENA - PERFORMANCE MED LORCA

Performance, 2 hours.

The 19th of August 2006.

Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Høvikodden.

//

A big arena of sand.

The cutting of 500 red carnations.

Lorca's poem Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías seven times from the loudspeakers.

A cut-up flamenco dance seven times on a stool.

/

Federico García Lorca was killed by Franco's men the 19th of August 1936.

70 years later I did this performance.

/

Loosing. Mourning. Remembering. Transforming. How to deal with loss, my friend.

/

No te conoce nadie. No. Pero yo te canto.
