Abstract

This text was written with a specific place in mind, and as a part of the Artistic Research project “1:100”. It was a part of a sight specific production during the festival Quartieri dell'Arte and the Moai project. The Moai project took place in the medieval village of Vitorchiano in Italy. It was produced by the festival together with the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in August 2016 and the text was performed in Norwegian and Italian – as part of the project’s focus on poly-vocality. The performance took place in an abandoned hotel which was situated in an old convent. In the late eighties it had been closed due to economic problems and for a period of 15 years legal charges were brought against the owner. During the performance, the audience moved from location to location. In this version, the performer functioned as a time witness or a guide traversing events, space and time. This text can also be performed by several actors, or by a man, a girl or a boy.
