Vilde Vengnes

In the project 'Øde Jeg' (translated to 'Desolate I'), Vilde is concerned about loneliness and writes: "In the past five years, I have had to look at myself and my relationship with loneliness through an acting education that emphasized cooperation and honesty, and a pandemic that made it clear how much more dependent I am on people, friends and strangers, than I thought I was. And from that my mind wandered to other people's relationships with loneliness; how do those around me deal with it? For me, it boils down to all the different forms of positive intimacy that exist around us at any given time, and then the occasional lack of it. This can be anything from being with the ones you love to getting a warm smile from the cashier at Kiwi." In response to this and through the use of Lecoq technique, music and lighting, Vilde's goal in 'Øde Jeg' is for the audience to "leave the theater with a warm feeling in their chest, and to feel two kilos lighter".

Please note: The spoken parts of this performance will be in Norwegian.
