INSYN

By Klara Elenius

Music by Stefan Klaverdal

Duration 15 min.

 

Insyn (Insight) is a dancefilm by choreographer Klara Elenius and composer Stefan Klaverdal where choreography

and music creates a unique synergy, inspired by the Nordic mentality.

The basic concept of the film is to create rifts in our perception of what is real and what is not. Do the characters

in the film really live as we do, or are they caught in some kind of flux between dream and reality? The main

characters live in a very still and unmoving house. They seem to have a somewhat strict relationship to each other.

Everything just about normal, but everywhere seem to hold some abstract components that shifts the perception

and creates a reality of its own.

 

The music reflects on the quasi-normal view of reality using vocal samples somewhat transformed, gliding

between recognizable patterns and more abstract sonic landscapes.

Insyn Šr en dansfilm av koreografen Klara Elenius och tonsŠttaren Stefan Klaverdal dŠr koreografi och musik skapar

en unik synergi, inspirerad av nordisk mentalitet.

Konceptet Šr att skapa sprickor i vŒr uppfattning av verkligheten, vad som Šr verkligt och vad som inte Šr det. Lever

karaktŠrerna i filmen verkligen pŒ samma sŠtt som vi gšr, eller Šr de fŒngade I nŒgot slags rum mellan dršm och verklighet?

HuvudkaraktŠrerna i filmen bor i ett vŠldigt stilla och oršrligt hus. De verkar ha ganska strikta relationer till varandra. Allt

Šr bara nŠstan normalt, men varje šgonblick tycks hŒlla abstrakta komponenter som fšrŠndrar perceptionen och skapar

en egen verklighet.

 

Musiken speglar denna kvasinormala betraktelse šver verkligheten genom att anvŠnda inspelningar av ršster nŒgot

fšrvrŠngda. Musiken glider sakta frŒn tydliga mšster av rytmer och toner till mer abstrakta ljudlandskap.
