UC San Diego presents
Hedda’ing
October
Concept by Sam Mitchell
Choreographed by Sam Mitchell, Snelle Hall and Siri Jondtvedt
Performed by Snelle Hall, Siri Jondtvedt, Sam Mitchell and Jason Dorwart
25 person capacity
Run Time: 25 minutes
San Diego-based performer/choreographer Sam Mitchell joins Norway-based dance theatre artists Siri Jondtvedt and Snelle Hall in this cross cultural, dance theatre exploration. Using Henrik Ibsen’s play Hedda Gabler as a source, Hedda’ing investigates the polarities that exist between the role of home as a sanctuary and as a prison, between memory and reality, and between the existential and the spiritual. Hedda'ing is set in and around the Stuart Collection's "Fallen Star" by artist Do Ho Suh.
Siri and Snelle's participation in this production was supported by the Norwegian Cultural Council, The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and The Fund for Performing Artists.
