Impressions from the Molecular Ballet at Henie Onstad Art Channel

We have entered a reality that is larger than the language we have to describe it. During the late summer of 2020, The Molecular Ballet and Ny Høvik Ballet helped transform the sculpture park at Henie Onstad into a laboratory of hieroglyphic dance.

Narrowness of Freedom

"My freedom thus consists in my moving about within the narrow frame that I have assigned to myself for each one of my undertakings. I shall go even further: my freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself of the claims that shackle the spirit."
