Soft Shell býður áhorfendum inn í einkennilegan undraheim þar sem hið lífræna mætir hinu vélræna. Íbúar hans kanna umhverfi sitt og hvort annað af næmni og mýkt og okkur er leyft að fylgjast með tvíræðum samskiptum sem verða til þegar nánd og umhyggja byggja á kerfum og mynstrum frekar en tilfinningum. Listræna teymi verksins sækir innblástur í fagurfræði og inntak ASMR myndbanda og skoðar í gegnum þá linsu hvort og hvernig sé hægt að vekja upp sömu tilfinningar í samhengi lifandi flutnings þar sem líkamar mæta mismunandi áferðum, litum og formum. Verkið veltir upp spurningum um merkingu og merkingarleysi, um innihaldslausa nánd, leiki án ánægju, samkennd án tengsla, veruleika án raunveruleika.



Katrín Gunnarsdóttir er dansari og danshöfundur búsett í Reykjavík. Hún vinnur með líkamlega hlustun og nánd í verkum sínum til að skapa margþætt landslag í kóreógrafíu.

Soft Shell is a duet set in a strange and sensorial landscape. In Soft Shell, two inhabitants practice intimacy through intricate patterns and affective labour, looking for a voyeuristic safe haven for their soft encounters.
Drawing from the aesthetics and content of ASMR videos, Soft Shell explores how and if these sensations can be evoked as bodies interact with sound and installations that play with various textures, shapes, colors and different levels of transparency. The audience is invited into a quiet, strange world where they are allowed to witness ambiguous and uncanny relations, playful unhappiness and artificial empathy.



Katrín Gunnarsdóttir is an Icelandic choreographer and dancer based in Reykjavík. Her work focuses on soft encounters and embodied listening, creating intricate choreographic landscapes. She has created both solo and group works and presented multi award-winning performances in Iceland and Europe, mostly for stage but also installations in museum and site-specific contexts.
