Waterloop
Performed at Dansescenen in September 2002 and at Festival de la Nouvelle Danse, France in June 2003
In 2002 Mute Comp. participates in Dansescenen’s competition Dansolution with the performance “WaterLoop”. The performance is voted “Favourite of the Audience” (Publikumsfavorit).
“WaterLoop” is a surreal story about how it is to suddenly experience a fata morgana in your own living room. A strange wet man visits another man in his home. With poetic pictures, humour, physical theatre and a Coca Cola with an attitude the two men fight throughout a touching story.

Gallefyrsten
Mute Comp. debuts in May with the performance “Galefyrsten” in Terra Nova Live Art Room.The performance is restaged in the autumn as a result of overwhelming audience interest.
“Galefyrsten” is based on Elgard Jonsson’s autobiographical book about the boy Elgard, who is admitted to psychiatric care. Here he is seen simply as a case, but after seven years of incarceration, the trainee Barbro Sandin emerges; she sees the human being in Elgard, cures him and paves the way for Elgard so that he gets the opportunity to become a therapist at the very hospital where he was held for seven years.
