Vitlycke - CPA

During the festival week we will reserve spaces for interaction with the artists through workshops and residencies. This year we proudly offer a regional residency that includes theatre director Marie Brassard’s return to the festival.

Marie Brassard has brought two performances to previous Gothenburg festivals: Jimmy in 2002 and The Darkness in 2004. Highly praised by the critics, both shows were deemed unforgettable by festival audiences. Brassard is a director and actor, active in Montreal in film and on stage. Her work is characterized by the exploration of the human voice and the creation of dream-like worlds and twisted identities.

This year we’ve invited Marie Brassard and her team to a regional residency in TanumDuring 10 days she will be working with the production of Introduction to Violence, a new piece to be premiered during 2019.  

 

Introduction to Violence
In the company of artists Alexander MacSween, Antonin Sorel, Sabrina Ratté, Mikko Hynninen and Pascal Grandmaison, Marie Brassard proposes a new solo work, beginning of a cycle, reflection on the perception of time and the learning of brutality.

A mixture of visual and sound arts, film realism and expressionist theater, Introduction to Violence is the first segment of a hybrid work for adults, inspired by a child’s remark.

In the beam of a flashlight that pierces the night, a book of prints opens on a landscape. Leone, two and a half years, points to a clear spot barely perceptible in the blue sky of the drawing. Look, she says, it seems like a little Japanese flower that has not been born yet. In the antechamber she imagines, this flower has a conscience and it hopes for the moment of its incarnation. This point in the sky is a window, through which we see the world beyond what the page of the book conceals. It is in this nebulous space that voices mix to tell the dreamed story of an assassin, to a child who does not want to sleep.
