SØREN EVINSON

In this work from 2021, the artist proposes a series of delusional fantasies related to desire. The fluid and constant interaction between materials and performer creates a sequence based on the mainstream imaginaries of our culture but that delves into unfathomable places. In this limitless cascade of action, word and song, the performance speculates beyond the notion of self and the idea of a disconnected community.

Søren Evinson’s work moves at the intersection between performance, theatre and dance. Through body, text and space he generates situations that speculate on different power structures, obscuring the discourses until they can no longer be traced. He combines choreographic materials with words and song to create direct and delirious pieces in a provocative relationship with the audience. His work has been performed at dance, theatre and performing arts festivals, as well as in art galleries, abandoned buildings and public squares around the world. His first solo piece, A Nation is Born in Me, was showcased at L’Antic Teatre as part of the Grec 2019 festival.

“Evinson’s explosion onto the scene is one of the most powerful things we’ve seen in a long time. ‘A Nation is Born in Me’ is more like a train collision between performer and audience than an encounter. The piece contains a healthy dose of honesty on the part of the artist that is hard to find…. Evinson is not of this world. The fullness of the piece is linked to the nature of the theatrical act itself”. Oriol Puig Taulé. Núvol
