Sustain
A celebration of life – and a disturbing yet beautiful concert performance about the basis of our existence .
The composer duo Sagn has created a musical piece about the relationship between human and nature . Together with the artistic team they have developed a concert performance that touches on some of the most central problems the world faces today . The temperature is rising , the weather is becoming more and more extreme , and newspapers claim that by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic than fish .
Bodil Lunde Rørtveit ’ s versatile voice is at the centre of the work alongside the percussion of Terje Isungset . Though the performance is without words , that does not mean it does not express an opinion ; on the contrary , it does so with force . The set is inspired by Chris Jordan ’ s photographs of bird carcasses with plastic in their stomachs , built up from feathers , bones and plastic waste . This also is the basis for a unique soundscape . Through an auditive and visual universe we turn our sights inward into ourselves , and see how we as individuals and as a society together create a common future .
