In\u00a0Works and days<\/em> mixes experiences from a trip to ancient Greece with fragments of a fifteen-year-old play. With humour and seriousness, Gunilla Heilborn tries to find out how all the loose episodes she has collected are connected and whether it is really possible to understand the world better by reading both the Iliad and the Odyssey.<\/p>\n

Works and days<\/em>\u00a0consists of two parts. In one, we are greeted by grand tableaux with names such as \u201dA place that is terrible in winter, harsh in summer, never pleasant\u201d and \u201dThe rose-fingered dawn\u201d. Through fog, mist and music, two dancers move; let's call them Shady-eyed Sophie and Many-worded Louis. With fleeting ease, they stroll across the stage and ask questions to themselves and to the audience. Do you get seasick easily? Would you describe me as a typical Renaissance person? That I have many strings to my bow? Do you know what it feels like to drift around in a ship frozen in the ice?<\/p>\n

In the second part, Heilborn herself navigates through earlier works in her search for a beginning. Taking her cue from the stories of ancient poets, a recent trip to Greece and her earlier work, she\u00a0This is not a love story<\/em>\u00a0From 2011, she attempts to see if it is possible to link one event to another, or if perhaps it is a lack of logic that characterises everything we do. She makes lists of ships that have sailed the seas and of what has been done or should have been done. The essence of the work is its chaotic structure, but a number of things recur in the two parts: travel and what we remember of what we have experienced. As well as the question of whether it is possible to know what to do on which days and why.<\/p>\n

The room, the lighting, and the music play a major role in the performance and are created by Heilborn's long-time collaborators Katarina Wiklund, Minna Tiikkainen, M\u00e5rten Nilsson, and Kim Hiorth\u00f8y.\"DAYS<\/p>\n

Gunilla on the title:<\/h2>\n

\"I am very fond of the title, which I have borrowed from a poem written 700 years BC by the Greek poet Hesiod. Works and days - that's what life is all about. Our days and what we do during those days. It's a perfect title for a piece where I take a closer look at a work I've done. What was it, what thoughts did it contain? What did we do all those days? The title can also be associated with the unique and temporary nature of performing arts. The ephemeral and the intense. How different a work is on different days and how a work changes with the passing days. \"<\/em><\/p>\n

Gunilla Heilborns f\u00f6rest\u00e4llningar har ofta sitt ursprung i just den k\u00e4nslan. En f\u00f6rundran v\u00e4ckts inf\u00f6r n\u00e5got - det kan vara en f\u00f6reteelse, en text, ett m\u00f6te eller namnet p\u00e5 en planet - vilket leder henne in i ett egensinnigt, vindlande kunskapss\u00f6kande i \u00e4mnet. Hon l\u00e5ter sedan sin f\u00f6rundran p\u00e5 ett snillrikt s\u00e4tt b\u00e4ra genom sina verk, s\u00e5 att vi som publik drabbas av just det som Aristoteles beskriver n\u00e4r vi ser f\u00f6rest\u00e4llningen. \r\n \r\nGunilla Heilborns verk har en fragmentarisk, associativ struktur och saknar ofta en uppenbar inre logik eller ordning. Id\u00e9m\u00e4ssigt kopplar det henne l\u00f6st till den tyska romantiken. En annan rottr\u00e5d i hennes arbete g\u00e5r till antiken. Men egentligen och fr\u00e4mst \u00e4r Heilborn sin egen genre. \r\n \r\nGunilla har tv\u00e5 f\u00f6rm\u00e5gor som definierar hennes verk och s\u00e4tt att arbeta. Dels ser hon det skeva, inte s\u00e4llan dr\u00e5pliga skeendena i historien, fiktionen och samtiden, dels kan hon gestalta det p\u00e5 ov\u00e4ntade s\u00e4tt p\u00e5 scenen.
