Grasping the floor with the back of my head
Life as a living hell
Grasping the floor with the back of my head is a tender, humorous, forceful and highly expressive performance about; why man – since the beginning of time – always somehow manage to make his life a living hell.
The show features an international cast from the Faeroe Islands, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland/Ecuador. The music is composed and performed live by VALRAVN., whose inspiration comes from the original Nordic music tradition blending the raw sounds from their ancient instruments with the smooth possibilities of electronic music.
