"imagine closing your eyes. the world disappears behind your eyelids and becomes dark and quiet for a moment. imagine you're sitting in a room. a fairly large room, with good headroom and floor space. imagine you're not alone , but that more, like you, sit in a row with your eyes closed and listen. if you open your eyes again, everything can be changed. colors, shapes and sensations may have changed place and nothing can be as before. "

alt nå is a performance simulator that leaves the audience alone together. the project explores the relationship between information, projection and manipulation in a system of sound, physical and visual material. the performance is created by choreographer and dancer eivind seljeseth, in collaboration with a group of performing artists put together for this project.
