Øland

Øland, by Marble Crowd.

Five seafarers find themselves stranded on the shores of Øland, an island located somewhere between reality and fiction. As they attempt to recreate the world from memory they stumble between past and present, unfolding visions of a future in a shimmering post-decadent landscape. 

In Øland, Marble Crowd continues to attempt grand tasks through a collective practice of transformative play, creating an ecology of make-belief. Drawing from a haunting narrative - a motley crew of shipwrecked protagonists -  the island serves as a stage for reflection and longing; a shifting assemblage of people, materialities and circumstances, real and imagined.

Øland premiered in January 2020 at the National Theatre of Iceland to a great acclaim, and it was nominated for the Icelandic Performing Arts Award (Gríman) in 11 categories: Best performance - Directing - New Play - Stage Choreography - Original Music - Set Design - Costume Design - Lighting Design - Sound Design - Actress - Dancer, It went on to win the following: Stage Choreography of the Year, Best Original Music Score, Best Costume Design.

Øland is available for touring. For further information on availabilty and dossier, contact Kara Hergils.
