Plot/Oslo: Sleep Locks the Bones (fully booked)

Sound installation by Maritea Dæhlin
Thursday 21.03.24
Sleep locks the bones

Plot/Oslo invites you between the ages of 18 and 25 to experience Sleep Locks the Bones by Maritea Dæhlin - an audio installation where text and voice stand at the center in a collective experience around the theme of sleep. Audiences, in small groups, are invited to settle into a comfortable position, relax and then listen to a voice that fails to do just that: to relax. The piece intertwines language, rhythms, narratives, and dreams, creating a vibrant scenic auditory landscape.
