Skymningsfåglar (Birds of Twilight) is a sound- and movementinstallation where we explore darkness and the purpose of the night for everything living. Its an experience where the audience gets to experience the diminishing of light and how the world of darkness takes over. We work with the playful activity that happens in nature when humans usually is asleep.

We are transposed by the soundscape to the dark nature where eyes and ears, antennas and other body parts experience ous in the night. Our contours become vague in the dark and the surroundings seeps in to us. Movement from bats, moisture, wind and glowworms conntect and leads our bodies through the infinite circle of life in nature. We speculate how it is to be an animal, a plant or a bug with skills specifically adapted for the darkness.

During our times of consumption, light pollution, climate changes do we contemplate the darkness and asks ourselfs, what is humanity in the dim dark nature.

We create beautiful and cruel images through movement, text, sound by following the “more-than-human” into the dark.
