“Betroelser om Sollys” is an immersive listening experience – for all the senses.
Based on interviews with Danes and people of different origins living in Denmark, it explores our human relationship with the sun.
Sunlight is essential to life as we know it. And yet it is also an ordinary, everyday phenomenon – an experience that we barely register with our conscious mind. But how does light actually affect us? How are we affected by its absence? And what is it like to move to another country and live under a ‘different sun’?
In a unique blend of audio-documentary, multichannel music installation and sensorial performance, Betroelser om Sollys explores these questions, offering a space for reflection anchored in the body.
