[… -.- ..- -- ]skum („Foam“)
Sonja Salkowitsch

[… -.- ..- -- ]skum („Foam“) is an off-stage, interactive butoh character, which is animated by inner transformations found at the sea shore. The performance explores possibilities of communication with spectators, the site, and anything that can emerge in the moment. [… -.- ..- -- ]skum was initially created as a street happening, where the performative figure, moving in a different reality, popped up as a surprise amidst everyday life. The piece is adaptable, and the chosen space of the festival will bid a new environment to explore for this improvisation.
Sonja Salkowitsch is a performer within physical theatre and butoh. She lives in Norway, where she runs the company PLUSKVAMPERFEKTUM together with her brother. Sonja's work is a mix of different genres, combining butoh with characterwork and interactive, site related settings. The substance usually derives from the mystical side of our existence, the space between dream and reality, and the experienced life in the outskirts of Norway, fuelled by dark winters, endless boredom, ghosts and myths.
