[…] Galbiati and Luginbühl revisit the fairy tale as an intimate journey where the spectator, whether young or adult, walks the path indicated by the voice on headphones alone with oneself, one’s ghosts and imagination. The rooms to be covered are bare, some dark, smelling of wood. Inside them are a few traces, signs of an inner turmoil or, more simply, clues to reknit the threads of the narrative. In these rooms, the aesthetic combines with the sensory. They are also spaces where ecstasy meets fear. Where, for a moment, we too have stepped back in time, recalling that fairy tale, the first time we were read or told it. The strength of .h.g. lies essentially in having used simple registers, without presumption, with the one aim of captivating through a synthesis of the tale with the “scent of sounds” and their evocative power. Well, we find the project fully successful.

The game

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

Eutopia

The stories of the Earth have changed in nature and scale: we do not write stories to tell about the creation or the course of the world, but to avert its end.

Book is a Book is a Book

Ts'ui Pen must have said once: I am withdrawing to write a book. And another time: I am withdrawing to construct a labyrinth. Every one imagined two works; to no one did it occurred that the book and the maze were one and the same thing.

Nettles

At what age does one stop being an orphan? Who loses the father, let’s say at sixty, can he be defined an orphan? At ten yes – but at forty? (...)

Choreography for the dying light

Sights

We met blind people. Some were born blind, others lost their sight over time. We asked them to tell us how they see

All this coming and going

Trickster-p — Projects — All this coming and going

Welcome, both inside and outside.
Here are landscapes after a tsunami, Titanic on first class, a belly dancer luring sailors and landlubbers, a library without books, the last journey, heartbreaking tones, silent tears, shipwrecks and joyful cries.
Conceived as big scale outdoor installation, All this coming and going is the result of the collaboration between Teatret Gruppe 38 (DK), Trickster-p (CH) and Terrapin  (AUS) as part of Aarhus 2017 - European Capital of Culture.
Inside and outside 12 large ship containers, mobiles, projections, shadows and moving pictures will depict what was – and what is to come.
The installation thematises the sea as an incredible powerful natural force which both draws and threatens – and how times change. It does so, through stories and picture universes about life at, with and on the sea.

Entering the spaces in 'All this coming and going' means experiencing the ocean through a prism of fantasy and dreams, both gentle and violent, tiny and large. Aarhus Stiftstidende (Denmark)
An holistic experience. The experience constantly changes. There is so much to see, so much to experience. Kulturmor (Denmark)
