The Cabin of Delicious Wonders by María Jerez
1st to 18th of September 2016 @ Teatar &TD, Student centre Zagreb
7th to 13th of October 2016 @ Teatar &TD, Student centre Zagreb
13th and 14th of October 2016 – premiere @ Pobješnjeli Ganz novi festival, Student centre Zagreb
The Cabin of Delicious Wonders is a mysterious space inhabited by heterogeneous objects; an untid
y collection of things that propose a cluttered gaze. These promiscuous spaces, where these miscellanea of curiosities coexist, insist in the indifference as its modus operandi. The transition between disarranged actions, eclectic objects, with no apparent hierarchies, creates enigmatic meanings. This project invites other artists to elaborate that promiscuous space while putting their projects together: next to each other, into each other, inside themselves, within other things, around conversations, away from their references, above objects that are foreign to them, under a board game, peeking behind another project, in the dark… looking for the coexistence of the most insane materials in a single space. A space that will transform as long as conversations, actions, records, references, bodies, voices, objects, events will mingle while happening.

The Flying Dutchman
Richard Wagner, Mariusz Treliński

The first epoch-making opera by Richard Wagner, evidence of the incredible artistic and at the same time reformist genius of the composer. The myth behind the opera stems from the seventeenth century and has inspired many artists of various professions. Wagner encountered it through an ironic retelling by Heinrich Heine, not entirely devoid of misogynist references.
For Mariusz Treliński The Flying Dutchman is a score full of multidimensional and often shimmering meanings. Known for his penchant for lavish stagings, the artist, along with the set and light designers, built a very dark and surprisingly minimalist show. It is dominated by the colour black, a sign of the vampiric Dutchman wandering the world and of his spiritual abyss, a sign definitely overwhelming the white — a symbol of Senta, devoted to her eternal wanderer.
The show has a lasting effect, imprinting itself in one’s memory. But how could it be otherwise? Throughout almost the entire show the stage is literally flooded with water, bringing on associations with the mare tenebrarum concept. The sea of darkness and the unconscious is crossed in deafening silence by a ghost ship, and the depths of that sea serve as a background for the conflict of the darkest demons of the male psyche.

Ingri Fiksdal returns to BIT Teatergarasjen and Bergen with her most recent performance "Cosmic Body"
BIT Teatergarasjen has been a co-producer and presenter of Ingri Fiksdals work since her graduation days.
It is with excitement that we present her new piece in march 2016.
About the performance:
A pendulum allowed to swing freely for 24 hours will slowly spin around its own axis. The pendulum is not the cause, but the Earth rotating underneath it. As if it's attached to the sky.
In Cosmic Body the dancers move under a large pendulum dramatically swinging through the space. It evokes the alluring notion of the perpetuum mobile, the whimsical idea of infinite movement without needing a source of energy. Energy is transformed from one form to another. Energy is wasted in all processes, creating an increasing amount of disorder, which ultimately explains why time goes forwards and not backwards. A constantly expanding universe opposes the illusion of a harmonic cosmos. The pendulum represents a fixed point within a constantly moving universe. In
Cosmic Body the connection with nature has been restored. No energy goes to waste. Fiksdal has created an ethereal piece, a choreographic take on the pulsating universe and the illusory notion of the perpetuum mobile.
Choreography: Ingri Fiksdal. Scenography and light design: Signe Becker and Tilo Hahn Music: Ingvild Langgård. Light technician: Jan Harald Ovrum. Costume: Mia Melinder and Signe Becker. Performers: Anne-Mareike Hess, Pernille Holden, Martin Lervik and Imre Vass. Outside eye: Rosalind Goldberg and Venke Sortland. Producer: Nicole Schuchardt. Administrator: Eva Grainger. Co-produced by Black Box Teater, BIT Teatergarasjen, Teaterhuset Avant Garden Trondheim and the apap network, BUDA Kortrijk and MDT Stockholm. Supported by The Norwegian Arts Council and TheNorwegian Artistic Research Program.

This research would be an attempt to think and sense the life with a reference to visceral organs. It would not be about what organs are; but, about the complex correlations of organs towards the life. What they are capable of and what kind of relationships could be discovered when they are considered as a dynamic living reference for disjointed temporalities, spatialities and corporealities.
For me, they present a potentiality to cross separations related to time as past/present/future; to body as material/immateral,body/soul and to space as here/beyond,in/out. How could a performer surpass this perception of linear and progressive time and open herself to multiple layers of sensation and perception/ unique temporalities of intestines, for example? As Time claims an universality and externality, it silences the internal presence of the body. With my body with the organs, the organs with their unique time and space, disrupt the linearity of past-present-future; for me, they blurs in/out spaces.
