Festspillutstillingen performance

Čitna Báffa (SÁ/SE/NO)

In this year's Festival exhibition by Máret Ánne Sara in Støperiet, snowmobile tracks are mounted from ceiling to floor. The materials' massive anchoring in modern society creates associations with something familiar and thus safe, but at the same time an intrusive whisper of something foreign and incompatible.

The combination of materials and the artistic language of Sara, creates a quiet refraction. The result is an apparent harmony in constant refraction. Sara calls this refraction space an existential split between an external life rooted in modern Western industrialism and capitalism in collision with an inner logic rooted in Sami philosophy and indigenous science.

This refraction space is explored through a performance that uses indigenous science as a method. In indigenous science, “being alive” is an inclusive definition. Everything is seen as having energy and its own unique intelligence and creative process, not only obvious animated entities, such as plants, animals and microorganisms, but also rocks, mountains, rivers and places. Becoming open to the natural world with all of one’s senses, body, mind and spirit, is the goal of the practice of indigenous science. Choreography and visual language are developed from the bodily and sensual, physical and metaphysical dialogue between materials and the human.

The performance is developed in collaboration with Alexandra Wingate, Anitta Katriina Suikkari, Anja Saiva Bongo Bjørnstad and Ina Dokmo.
