The Flying Carpet

Performance Demonstration with Julia Varley, on the interpretation of text

"Text is a carpet that has to fly far away." With this sentence as a starting point the demonstration works its way through the past thirty years of the Odin Teatret performances in which Julia Varley has taken part. Few essential explanations accompany the vocal work that exemplifies the passage of the word from the written form to space, from coldness of paper to the freedom of interpretation.
